Lamington Group has unveiled plans to build the company’s first room2 eco hometel in the North of England.
The hotel will be located in York, inside the city’s castle walls, and will offer 116 guest rooms, a meeting space, laundry room, gym and new Winnie’s cafe and bar concept.
The £30m asset will be funded off the group’s balance sheet and the development will be managed by the in-house team of Lamington Group’s development arm. Work is due to start on site this summer and the hotel will open in early 2026.
Robert Godwin, CEO of Lamington Group, said: “Room2 York will be a fantastic development that we are delighted to be progressing despite challenging economic conditions. In line with our One Living Planet strategy, we are proud to continue the creation of long term environmental and social value for our partners, guests and community.”
Room2 currently has four operational locations – Southampton, Hammersmith, Chiswick and Belfast.
