The former Marchbrae store could become a 17-bedroom hotel with restaurant and bar PLANS for a quirky new hotel to open in an empty shop in York city centre have been submitted. The venue, named Hotel Impossible, is planned for the former Marchbrae shop in St Helen's Square opposite Betty's. It would have 17 bedrooms across four floors and a restaurant and bar. Partitions on the ground floor will be demolished to open a link between the new hotel and the newly opened Impossible WonderBar and Tea Rooms in the building that was formerly home to Carluccio's. Applicant Tokyo Industries, which has also taken over the neighbouring building, has submitted a 'mood board' to suggest decor for the new hotel. It includes pictures of bathtubs in bedrooms, chandeliers and velvet furnishings.
