Though perhaps not the ideal use of the building, I applaud the conversion of the disgusting wreck that was the the White Swan Hotel in York's Piccadilly, into a living building once again.
I think the owners have a cheek trying to evict the "peace hotel"' squatters, especially when they have happily left the building derelict for over a decade. Perhaps they are worried this may now interfere with a quick sale of land should Coppergate II get the go- ahead?
Three cheers for the "peace hotel" (at least it's not a war hotel! ).
This is urban regeneration at its best - when it involves people who care and not just big business and greedy politicians.
