Roomzzz has been granted planning permission to expand its growing portfolio of state of the art aparthotels into York with a brand-new location planned to open in 2019.

Featuring 97 luxury apartments, Roomzzz York will give guests the comfort of a boutique hotel with the convenience of a serviced apartment in this unique waterfront location in the heart of York City Centre. The four-storey, £20million development will begin construction mid-2017 and will create an estimated 20 new jobs across all levels, from porters to managers, and cleaners to concierge.

Naveen Ahmed, Managin Director of Roomzzz Aparthotels, said: “We are delighted that after months of hard work by the contractors and the planners, we’re finally underway with the project to bring Roomzzz to York – a vibrant destination city and fits perfectly into the Roomzzz family. The Riverside location is incredible and our exquisite apartments and suites, which provide guests with more space and freedom, will be the perfect location for our wide range of clientele looking to experience all York has to offer.”
