New owners have lodged a proposal to build a new hotel on the edge of the Nepean River.
20 Memorial Avenue, Penrith, has been utilised for hospitality for over 200 years. The most recent use was as the Log Cabin Hotel, which burnt down in 2012. Plans lodged with Penrith City Council this week seek to build a new Log Cabin Hotel on the site.
Stimson & Baker Planning lodged the $16 million proposal on behalf of the site’s owners. If approved, the hotel will include a fine dining restaurant, function room space, beer garden, cocktail bar and an external deck to provide patrons with views of the Nepean River.
Blake Cottel and Rob Wearn, two of the property’s owners, told the Penrith Press "This project represents our collective investment in the future of Penrith".
