Supercity Aparthotels has opened its ninth property, Micklegate, in York city centre, expanding its UK portfolio with a new base in one of the country’s most visited heritage destinations.

The aparthotel sits on Micklegate, one of York’s most historic streets, and brings the brand’s mix of apartment-style accommodation, flexibility and design-led living to the city.

The opening adds to Supercity’s growing network of serviced apartments, which has made the company a larger player in the UK’s extended-stay and city-break market.

Supercity said the new property is aimed at guests who want the space and independence of an apartment with hotel-style services. The move also reflects continued demand for flexible accommodation in central locations, especially in historic cities that attract both leisure and business travellers.

York remains one of the UK’s strongest short-break markets, drawing visitors to its medieval streets, cultural attractions and rail links. A property in the city centre puts Supercity within easy reach of the main shopping areas, restaurants and visitor sights.

Micklegate itself has long been one of the city’s best-known streets, linking York’s historic core with its wider centre. Its setting gives the aparthotel a location that combines local character with practical access for travellers.

Supercity Aparthotels has built its brand around serviced apartments rather than traditional hotel rooms. That model has grown in popularity as more travellers look for kitchens, larger living spaces and stays that can work for a few nights or several weeks.

The company says the new opening continues that approach. It adds another property to a portfolio that now spans 9 sites, strengthening its position in a competitive accommodation sector where location and flexibility matter.
