The Bank House hotel is located in the medieval quarter of the town in King's Staithe Square overlooking the River Great Ouse.
Beneath the 18th century Grade II* Listed building are barrel vaulted cellars which stored imported wine and stretches all the way beneath King's Staithe Square.
The hotel and restaurant has been run by its current owners, Anthony and Jeanette Goodrich, for 10 years.
Mr and Mrs Goodrich also run the Rose and Crown in Snettisham and bought the former probation offices on Purfleet Quay, to convert them into a restaurant, last year.Speaking at the time of purchasing the building in April 2017, the couple said they were to transform the offices into a hotel and bar.
They said they were looking to move on from Bank House in order to concentrate on building their other business, adding: 'We are very proud of what we have achieved at Bank House in building it up to be the place to eat, drink, and stay in King's Lynn, and believe it has terrific potential for growth, benefitting from the town's ongoing regeneration programme and the exciting waterfront development proposals currently being drawn up.'
Earlier this month, West Norfolk council's planning committee agreed to plans for a floating restaurant beside the historic dock next to the Custom House.
