April 30 (Bloomberg) -- Gordon Ramsay Holdings's first U.K. hotel, in north London, will feature two restaurants run by Angela Hartnett, private dining, a cocktail bar and a delicatessen, Design Week said, citing the York & Albany's general manager.

The original plan was for the York & Albany to become part of Ramsay's pub group, Design Week said, and then the decision was taken to operate it as a hotel, with 10 suites. The Regency designs are by Russell Sage Studio, with custom-made silk fabrics, Design Week quoted manager James Partridge as saying.

The hotel is housed in a building in Camden, near Regent's Park, and was originally created by the architect John Nash in 1827. Ramsay bought the lease in February, Design Week said. Ramsay's public-relations firm, Sauce Communications, said today that the property is scheduled to open ``in late summer.''

In London, the Ramsay group operates restaurants in three hotels, a stand-alone three-Michelin-star establishment on Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea and an eatery at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5, plus Foxtrot Oscar brasserie and three pubs.
