York is a remarkable city. Rich in history itself, it can also boast many hotels with histories of their own. When looking for somewhere to stay in York, visitors will discover individuality and a wide variety of accommodation on offer. Whether you require a simple B&B, or are looking for a superior hotel to celebrate a special occasion, there really is something for everyone. The majority of accommodation is within easy reach of the City Centre, with its many shops, restaurants, pubs and tourist attractions. Many of the Hotels and B&B's are situated in clusters along the main roads leading into the City Centre.

Inexpensive

Gillygate and Haxby Road, Bootham, Bishopthorpe Road, Fulford Road, Holgate Road and Heworth village all offer a number of reasonably priced B&B's and hotels. Ideal for those on a budget, good basic accommodation is available with the added bonus of being within walking distance of the City Centre. Try the Cornmill Lodge Vegetarian Guest House or Mowbray House, both in Haxby Road, they offer a delicious selection of vegetarian and vegan food in a non- smoking environment. Ascot House in Heworth is situated in a delightful residential part of York, close to Heworth village with its parade of shops and gardens. The family run Heworth Court Hotel is popular with visitors and locals alike because of its "Lamplight" restaurant, it has a friendly atmosphere and also offers superior rooms in a Victorian house nearby. The Jorvik Hotel in Bootham has its own garden restaurant, and also overlooks the Museum Gardens, so is in a prime location for shopping and sightseeing. There are a number of hostels to choose from, such as the York Backpackers Hostel in Micklegate and The York International Youth Hostel in Clifton. Both provide basic accommodation. Self catering accommodation is also available, for example try the Bootham Park View Holiday Apartments.

Moderate

Bootham provides visitors with a selection of accommodation moderately priced, such as the Abbots Mews Hotel, formerly a coachman's cottage dating back to Victorian times, it is set in its own beautiful mature gardens and has a first class restaurant. The Bootham Bar Hotel is an 18th century house situated within the city walls. Hudsons Hotel is ideal for the more romantically inclined, being conveniently situated next to York registry office. Converted from two Victorian houses this charming hotel has a roof-top garden and guests can enjoy the elegant surroundings of the Victorian dining room. The Newington on the Mount is another well priced hotel, offering good accommodation, an indoor pool, morning papers and a theatre ticket booking service. The Posthouse York on Tadcaster Road, as part of a well known chain, is renowned for providing good accommodation and services, it also has a weekend play room for the children as well as a baby listening service. The Galtres Lodge hotel could not be better placed, standing as it does in Low Petergate, one of York's best known medieval streets.

Expensive

The Mount and Tadcaster Road host some of York's finest hotels. With the City Centre close by and the Knavesmire racecourse even closer, it is not only location that makes these superior hotels so special. The Mount Royale has many unique features such as garden rooms with semi-tropical plants and a heated open air pool. The Marriott Hotel has the most amazing views of the racecourse from its 'Grandstand rooms', as well as its own leisure club. The Elmbank Hotel displays art nouveau style throughout, its elegant surroundings are ideal for wedding receptions, for which it provides comprehensive packages. The Novotel is in a desirable location, alongside the River Foss and is a popular hotel offering an indoor pool. It is also great for children as it has a play area and a baby listening service. Most of the hotels in York welcome families and provide family rooms upon request. Also try The Churchill, which is a converted Georgian building set in its own grounds and has a pianist playing in the lounge most evenings. The York Moat House by Ouse bridge overlooks the river and has its own restaurant and gym, for race fans this is just one of many hotels which offer special packages for race meetings. For a touch of York history The Monkbar Hotel is located opposite one of the gateways into the ancient City Centre and has the added attraction of offering excellent conference facilities. But for something a little different, Lady Anne Middleton's Hotel in Skeldergate consists of a former organ factory, a former sawmill and three distinct houses, one named after a well known visitor, Charlie Chaplin. Ultimately, for the most spectacular of locations, look no further than the Dean Court Hotel. With an award-winning restaurant, this hotel stands literally in the shadow of the city's crowning glory, the breathtaking York Minster.

Deluxe

York has a number of exquisite deluxe hotels for those wishing to be truly spoiled. The Mount boasts The Ambassador Hotel, which offers elegantly furnished, individually designed rooms, as well as an excellent restaurant. Set in its own grounds, this Georgian town house is the perfect setting for weddings and conferences. The Judges Lodging Hotel is another fine example. Ideally situated in the heart of the City Centre this Grade 1 listed Georgian town house is bursting with historical interest. Tastefully furnished, it provides excellent accommodation and displays many original features. The Hilton York, close to Clifford's Tower and the Castle Museum, is a modern hotel offering first class business and leisure facilities. It also boasts the popular Henry J. Bean's restaurant. The Royal York is adjacent to York railway station. This large Victorian hotel has 158 rooms and a state-of-the-art business centre. Many of the other larger hotels in York, offer impressive conference facilities, some with purpose built business centres, most with individual packages to suit all requirements. The Middlethorpe Hall on Bishopthorpe Road is a truly special place to stay. Built in 1699 it is a very stylish and grand country house offering the very best of facilities including; a health and fitness spa, and beautiful mature gardens. The panelled dining room (Gentlemen are requested to wear a jacket and tie) has received much praise in recent years including three AA rosettes for food.

Micklegate


York
United Kingdom
Possibly the most famous street in York with the exception of The Shambles. This is home to many of the best pubs in York, from the lively Harry's Bar and Brubakers to the more traditional Ackhorne and Walker's Bar. The chain of pubs is commonly referred to as "The Micklegate Run" and some of the most hardened drinkers of this world have felt their knees turn to jelly at the though of tackling all of them. At one time it was quite reasonable to drink a pint in each, but nowadays there are so many pubs it really doesn't bear thinking about. This is the usual approach path of young revellers making their way towards clubs such as The Gallery, Ziggy's and Toff's, so the faint of heart should perhaps take care.

The Novotel is an outstanding hotel, well placed in the city centre alongside the River Foss. It has recently been refurbished and offers excellent accommodation and facilities. This hotel also has an indoor heated swimming pool - great if the Yorkshire weather is as cold and damp as it can be sometimes. For refreshment and a range of tempting meals, visit "The Old Glassworks Pub" and "The Garden Brasserie Restaurant" - you'll not be disappointed.

Centrally situated, the famous York Minster is visible from much of the city. It has three towers and is the fifth church to be built on this particular site. It's the largest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe and dates right back to medieval times, although excavations have unearthed Norman, Roman and Viking beginnings. See for yourself the wonderful 14th and 15th century stained glass, including the famous Rose Window. Admission to the main body of the Minster is free, although contributions to the York Minister Fund and Friends of York Minister are welcome.
