Llandudno Junction could soon have a new hotel.
Plans have been submitted to convert Marle Hall, a Grade II listed mansion.
C Lambie of Portsmouth-based Middle Park Projects has applied to Conwy County Council’s planning department for permission to convert the former education centre.
The Georgian mansion was bought by Warwickshire Council in 1971 and was used as a learning centre, providing residential trips and courses for schoolchildren until it shut in October 2021.

According to the application, neighbours have been consulted about the plans.
The building hit the headlines last year when the Home Office considered using the mansion to home asylum seekers, but the plans were thrown out.
The planning application will be discussed at a future Conwy County Council planning committee meeting at the authority’s Bodlondeb HQ.
Last year, Marle Hall Holdings had submitted a proposal for the site to be transformed into a 25-bedroom “destination” hotel.
They had intended to use it as a venue for a variety of functions, such as weddings, with the site to also provide spa services.
Those plans were rejected by the council in December, with the company’s submitted Heritage Impact Assessment containing "insufficient information regarding the extent of the proposed works to allow for an assessment of the proposal upon the special architectural/historic interest of the listed building".
Marle Hall dates back more than a century, and had been used as a convalescent and nursing home in the past.
