A SIX-STOREY hotel is on the horizon for Leighton Beach.

Hotelier and developer Roger Foster has set his sights on coastal property in North Fremantle for his latest development—a six-storey hotel with 100 rooms, three restaurants, a pool and gym.

The proposed development site is near Bib and Tucker restaurant and bounded by Leighton Beach Boulevard, Freeman Loop, Curtin Avenue and Walter Place.
