Planning consent granted for a new high-quality hotel at the heart of York’s Central Historic Core

Dexter Moren Associates (DMA) has won planning consent for a new high-quality hotel at the heart of York’s Central Historic Core conservation area for client Dominvs Group. The 132-bedroom hotel, near the landmark Clifford’s Tower, will feature a restaurant facing out onto the busy Piccadilly thoroughfare, becoming part of the Castle Regeneration Area.

 Explains Rebeca Aguilera, Associate at DMA: “Given the incredible sensitivity of the site, we worked in close collaboration with officers from York City Council to create a simple yet detailed design whose massing and materials do not overpower its surroundings – particularly St Denys’s Church and Walmgate – yet creates a credible link to its context and the hundreds of years of history that surrounds it.”
