No, it's an extension to the hotel.

Although to be honest the effect wasn't that impressive even back then, the low grade tenement rather chopped the arch in half when viewed from the square, better if they'd extended the arch out onto the facing street. Just a little titbit but where the present pathetic office/hotel whatever thing is (just out of shot on the left) there used to stand a rather impressive collonaded Greek temple thing, unfortunately for it and us it stood in the way of a seventies property developer.
