Royal House in Harrogate is to be refurbished and turned into a co-working space.


The property on Station Parade was built in 1847 and known as the Royal Hotel in the Victorian era.


It has been used as offices since the 1960s.


The building has been leased by Wizu Workspace, a Leeds-based company that operates six co-working spaces in Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford. It said it plans to spend "a six-figure sum" refurbishing the building.


Wizu has a membership model where customers pay a monthly fee to use their offices on demand.

Tom Almas, chief executive of Wizu, said it had expanded into Harrogate as the company believes there is an undersupply of modern office space in the town.


He said:



"We’re excited to bring something truly unique to Harrogate, creating a blend of sleek modern interiors mixed with historic period features to provide an impressive place to work.
"We chose Harrogate due to the undersupply of modern, flexible office space in the town and saw an opportunity to bring our popular, all-inclusive model to businesses.”
"The building itself is incredible. It’s in a prominent central location with stunning views of The Stray and just a few minutes from the train station and major road links - making it an attractive, accessible space to run a successful business from."
