A new £10 million York hotel is set to create 50 hotel jobs in North Yorkshire, according to the Press.

The plan to build the six-storey, 120-bedroom hotel adjacent to planned new City of York Council headquarters has already attracted interest from national and international hotel operators, with occupancy rates in the city the highest outside of London, according to the developers.

It will join the luxury Cedar Court Grand Hotel and Spa which is opening in nearby Station Rise.

The architects, York-based firm Crease Strickland Parkins, are planning a contemporary design for the hotel which will include a restaurant, meeting facilities and work-out room.

Sandy Smith, from developers York Investors LLP, told the news provider: "We have designed a hotel which will sit attractively in the location and offer business and conferencing visitors as well as leisure tourists a convenient base from which to connect with York's excellent facilities."

Manchester City Council recently approved plans for a 150-bedroom Etap hotel which could create hotel jobs in Manchester.
