£1.2m investment in grade II-listed hotel nears completion

A £1.2m investment is nearing completion at The Grange Hotel in York.

The two-year refurbishment programme has seen the addition of five bedrooms, as well as a new restaurant. Named The Ivy Brasserie, it is located in the former vaulted cellars of the grade II-listed building.

The final phase, a renovation of the first-floor Library and Drawing Room, is now underway and scheduled for completion in March 2017.

Operators said that in addition to the £1.2m, further investment will be continued in the future.

General manager Suzanne Newman said: “We are delighted to be completing the refurbishment of The Grange Hotel in time for spring. Careful consideration has been given throughout the process to enhancing the hotel while keeping true to the hotel’s character and listed status.

“The high-quality refurbishment throughout the public areas, excellent dining options and top-notch bedrooms and bathrooms make The Grange Hotel a first-class destination in York. Looking to the future, we will continue to invest in and improve the hotel to keep it a top choice for visitors to the city.”
