Approval has been granted for the development of a new 160-bedroom Malmaison Hotel in the centre of York.
The site is Yorkshire House, an office block in Rougier Street, dating from 1962 and formerly the offices of Aviva.
Malmaison York will feature a Chez Mal Bar and Brasserie as well as the group’s meeting and events concept, Work + Play.
Malmaison York will become the 16th property for Malmaison within the UK. It will join sister brand Hotel du Vin, which operates a 44–bedroom hotel in York.
Development work is expected to start later this year.
