It's a five-minute walk from Bootham Bar, one of the city's medieval gateways; while York Minster is a little further. You're close to the centre, without being among the crowds.
By car: the hotel is 45 minutes from Leeds, 1 hour 45 minutes from Manchester and over 4 hours from London. Paid on-site parking available.
By train: London Kings Cross to York takes around 2 hours, after which, the hotel is a 15-minute walk. Book trains to York.
Bold colours, an old-school vibe and touches of whimsy create a laid-back atmosphere from the black violins lining the stairwell wall and the marmalade colours of the sitting room to the model train-set in the bar where music comes courtesy of turntable and vinyls. Young city-breakers and families will love it.
Both the bar, with a fire, and the sitting room offer armchairs, sofas and quiet corners. For warmer days, there's a small terrace. To chill-out, head to the spa; or to indulge, head to the Pantry with complimentary snacks.
