For luxury accommodation in the historic city of York, look no further than The Grand.

The atmosphere is full of cosy elegance and the hotel has worked hard to create a home-from-home feel.
The service is attentive, the well-appointed rooms are spacious, the dining options are excellent and the spa is wonderfully tranquil. There are 207 rooms and suites spread across six floors.

For fine dining head to the 3AA rosette Legacy Restaurant overseen by Executive chef, Kevin Bonello or for classic Yorkshire fare, book a table at The Rise. Both offer stylish and confident cooking using seasonal local produce. For an extensive Whisky Menu, expertly-mixed cocktails and local ales, the 1906 Bar is the perfect place to relax.
Full of atmosphere and located in the building’s former vault is the spa, offering beauty and massage treatments, a 14-metre indoor pool, sauna, steam room and state-of-the-art gym. This is a lovely hotel offering high quality comfortable and stylish accommodation in the centre of York.
