The Mepa board will today consider an application for a permit for the demolition of the Metropole Hotel in Dingli Street, Sliema, and its replacement with apartments.

The application is for the building of an underground car park on four levels, a commercial outlet at ground floor, five storeys of apartments and overlying penthouses.

The development will also cover the site of an adjacent town house in Dun Karm Galea Street. The façade of the house will be retained.

There will be 90 parking slots in the basement garage and 32 apartments of various sizes.

The Metropole Hotel is currently disused.
