A boutique hotel has been proposed in Doylestown at the former site of borough hall and the Central Bucks Regional Police station. The property was purchased in 2021 for $2.3 million by borough resident and developer Larry Thompson. The plan submitted by ALOK Investments LLC includes a 41,385-square-foot, four-story building that will house a hotel with 32 guest rooms, a restaurant, an event space and a parking garage. Dozens of residents attended the Feb. 15 zoning hearing board meeting to express consternation — and some support — about the project. Residents spoke of the loss of privacy, issues about the height of the building, parking, traffic, noise and public safety. Some expressed that they were not opposed to the idea of a hotel, but that their concerns over the problems they listed are being ignored. The issue was continued until April 18.
