A 15-story hotel approved for site near Boston’s North Station in 2014 but never built is being resurrected by its developer.

Woburn-based Somnath Hospitality is asking the Boston Planning & Development Agency and city Zoning Board of Appeal to re-approve the proposal with minimal changes made to the design.

It’s unclear from Somnath’s application whether or not the proposed hotel will be branded to any major chain. According to media reports when it proposed the project in 2014, the company owned and managed a Comfort Inn in Woburn and a Hampton Inn in Cambridge.

According to an application filed with the city, Somnath has boosted the number of guest rooms from 90 to 98, and made “refinements to the facades” reflecting input from the BPDA’s urban design staff. Square footage would stay the same as the 2014 proposal, at 47,355 square feet.

Amenities noted in the plans include a small cafe with sidewalk tables and a basement fitness center.

The 149-foot tower would rise on the 3,598-square-foot site of a 1-story former Bank of America branch at 104 Canal St., in the middle of Boston’s Bulfinch Triangle neighborhood. The site is a block away from the Onyx boutique hotel’s under-construction, 77-room expansion on Portland Street and a block from a potential large skyscraper on Causeway Street being contemplated by Newton developer RMR Group.

Since being decimated by the collapse of business travel during the pandemic, the Boston hotel market appears to be returning, but fitfully. Massachusetts Convention Center Authority officials said earlier this month that the convention business is likely to experience a “full recovery” from the pandemic by next year. Still, as the summer opened, local hotel consultants were noting that the Boston hotel market’s revenue per available room, or RevPAR, was lagging the nation’s top 25 markets by a significant amount.
