Skilled local contractors are working to restore the iconic Grade II listed building in Baxtergate which will open this summer.
Neil Harrison of BHD Design, whose architectural expertise has ensured that the building’s heritage is protected while allowing it to evolve into a contemporary hospitality destination, said blending heritage with modern luxury is no small task.

He said: "Every element of the project requires careful planning, specialist knowledge, and a deep respect for the building’s history. At the heart of this transformation is a team of dedicated local tradespeople whose craftsmanship is helping to sympathetically restore the building while meeting strict conservation requirements.
"Restoring a building of this significance demands more than standard construction work. It requires a sensitive approach: preserving original features wherever possible, repairing rather than replacing, and ensuring that any new additions sit seamlessly alongside the historic fabric of the building.
The team are proud to work alongside a number of trusted local suppliers who are playing a key role in bringing The Treasury Whitby to life, including Matthew Robinson (Plumbing), RS Builders, LTC Electrical, Andy Anderson (Decorator) and a host of volunteers.
Ali Hussain, founder of The Treasury Whitby, said: “This project wouldn’t be possible without the incredible skill and dedication of our local contractors. Working on a Grade II listed building comes with its challenges, but the care and craftsmanship the team have shown in preserving its character while bringing it back to life has been exceptional. It’s something the whole town can be proud of.
"With an opening planned for summer 2026, The Treasury Whitby is steadily taking shape as a new destination for dining, drinks, and celebration, one built not just on vision, but on the expertise and passion of the people bringing it to life.
"As the restoration continues, The Treasury stands as a testament to what can be achieved when heritage, craftsmanship, and community come together."
