About zedwell

zedwell is a well-known and expanding hotel brand specialising in high-quality, affordable accommodation in central, sustainable urban locations. Their innovative “cocoon” and “capsule” concepts have been hugely successful at their existing London hotel and are now being brought to York – the brand’s first location outside the capital.

zedwell hotels are designed for deep rest in the heart of the action, offering a calm retreat where you can reset, recharge, and take on the world again.

Cocoon Rooms

Larger, comfortable rooms offering privacy and modern amenities, ideal for couples, business travellers, or those seeking more space. The proposals include 80 cocoon rooms (64 standard, 4 larger, and 12 DDA compliant).

Every zedwell room is designed for rest.

Sink into a Hypnos mattress, cocooned in softness, while soundproof doors and walls ensure the city stays outside.

Warm ambient lighting sets a soothing tone when you need it, and total blackout lets you drift off undisturbed. And because the cocoons are windowless by design, sunrise is when you decide.

Capsule Rooms

Compact, well-designed single bed spaces that maximise efficiency without compromising quality. The scheme includes 154 capsules, providing genuinely affordable options in a prime city centre location.

zedwell’s approach focuses on:

  • Sustainability and reduced environmental impact
  • Smart, space-efficient design
  • High standards of cleanliness, comfort, and guest experience
  • Supporting vibrant, walkable city centres

This project represents an exciting opportunity to deliver much-needed affordable hotel accommodation in York while breathing new life into a historic building.
