Luxury serviced apartments brand Supercity Aparthotels has announced the signing of a new site in the historic city of York. Due to open in 2023, construction of the new property will begin this summer.

Over the past 12 years, the group has grown to six properties across London, Manchester and Brighton. Having recently launched a UK growth plan, funded by Supercity Aparthotels private Family Office, the company has now reached a deal with North Star to develop an aparthotel on York’s famous Micklegate.

Designed by local architects Vincent & Brown, the newbuild will deliver a contemporary experience that compliments the area’s Georgian character. The development will also include a new bar and restaurant.

“We are thrilled to have secured such a great site in York. Micklegate’s rich history, vibrant nightlife and proximity to transport links make it the ideal location for our guests,” comments Roger Walters, Chairman of Supercity Aparthotels. “The development will blend beautifully into York’s famous gateway street, and we look forward to bringing our stylish hallmark interiors and warm service to this much-loved city.”

North Star add: “Supercity Aparthotels are a highly respected provider in the aparthotel sector and this signing is another indication of the heightened interest in York as a destination for both business and leisure. We look forward to working with the team to deliver this project on one of York’s most renowned streets.”
