The Royal York Hotel is a handsome Victorian landmark hotel in the heart of the historic city of York. It is one of England’s finest railway hotels in one of its most famous railway towns – the Hotel is an integral part of York Station, and is situated adjacent to the celebrated National Railway Museum. Consequently, then, the Hotel poses no accessibility problems – York is a key station on the East Cost Mainline, running between London King’s Cross Station and Scotland – and the hotel also boasts on-site car parking, a welcome feature of any city centre hotel. However, its ease of access is just one of the impressive features of the Hotel; it is a luxurious and elegant base from which to explore the beautiful and historic medieval city of York. Nestling beneath York's famous city walls and commanding panoramic views of the city and the Gothic masterpiece that is York Minster, the Royal York Hotel is one of North of England’s most popular, and most strikingly beautiful hotel venues.
The Hotel has recently undergone extensive refurbishment; the programme of rigorous but sympathetic renovation has restored this grand Victorian landmark to its former glory, and while the facilities and amenities are up to date and of the standard expected of a 4-star deluxe hotel, many of the hotel’s original features and its unique character and charm have been preserved. The Hotel stands in 3 acres of delightful landscaped gardens, and within 5 minutes’ walk you will find yourself in the atmospheric centre of York itself. York is one of the UK’s most treasured historic cities; its charming city centre, full of narrow streets and winding lanes, is a remarkably well-preserved example of a medieval city. Seemingly around every corner there is an intriguing and historic landmark; from the city walls and the keep of the Norman Castle – built to repel raids and to subdue the rebellious North – to the charming Shambles and the extraordinarily titled Wip-Ma-Wop-Ma Gate, York presents a treasure trove of delights. The centrepiece of this delightful city is of course York Minster. Built between 1220 and the late 15 th Century, York Minster is one of Great Britain’s most iconic landmarks, and one of the largest and most important examples of Gothic architecture in the world.
