PHILADELPHIA—New York City-based Morgans Hotel Group Co. has plans to build a $125-million hotel at 17th and Chancellor streets in Center City.

The hotelier is proposing to build a 300-room hotel that will carry its Hudson hotel flag. The development site currently features a parking garage. Little Pete's diner, a floral shop and nail salon are within the garage space. The plan calls for tearing down the garage and replacing it with two stories of retail, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal.

DAS Architects Inc. of Philadelphia has designed the Hudson Hotel and Clemens Construction Co. will oversee its development. Construction on the Hudson Hotel is expected to begin in 2015 and be completed in 2016.

The Morgans Hotel brand currently consists of a hotel in New York City at 356 West 58th St. and a location in London in development that is expected to open in 2015. See story in the Philadelphia Business Journal.
