Historic York hotel approved for renovation works

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 17:32 · Archive

York Council has approved renovation plans for the Grade II-listed Dean Court Hotel. The operator, The Inn Collection Group, submitted the application stating the works would help the hotel remain viable whilst respecting its heritage. Listed building consent was lodged with the council in May, with some renovations previously approved in principle in 2022.

The approved works focus on reconfiguring modern interior elements. A partition wall will be removed on the ground floor to create a larger dining area for the restaurant. The hotel's bar will relocate to the reception area, which will be remodelled to accommodate the expanded restaurant. The kitchen will be upgraded and connections between basement and ground floor improved.

Existing customer toilets will be refurbished and new staff toilets created. The application stated the proposals would not adversely affect the architectural, historical or evidential value of the Grade II-listed building or its contribution to the York Central Conservation Area.
