Funding is in place and development is expected to start this spring to create a new Malmaison Hotel in the centre of York.
The new Malmaison will occupy a redeveloped 1960s landmark building previously known as Yorkshire House in Rougier Street.
Malmaison York will comprise 150 bedrooms and will feature a new rooftop 'sky bar' with views over York.
Project completion is scheduled for the second or third quarter of 2019.
