The West Park Hotel (formerly Cutlers on the Stray) is a stylish hotel in the heart of the historic Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate. It is set in one of the town’s original coaching inns, and has successfully added hints of contemporary chic and a reputation for fine food and wine to the traditional surroundings. Harrogate is well known as one of Yorkshire’s most popular and desirable weekend break destinations, and furthermore it is a thriving conference venue. The West Park Hotel is the ideal choice of hotel for business and leisure guests, such is its broad appeal.

The West Park Hotel can be found very close to the centre of Harrogate, and its seemingly eccentric name is explained by its location overlooking The Stray, a remarkable 200-acre common at the heart of Harrogate. Harrogate Railway Station is not far, and the beautiful Georgian town centre is at your disposal with its selection of restaurants, bars, pubs and great shopping facilities. Harrogate International Centre, one of Europe's finest conference and exhibition venues can be reached within 5 minutes’ walk from The West Park Hotel, making the location appealing to conference delegates. Harrogate’s prosperity derived from William Slingsby’s 18 th Century discovery of a spring of sulphur and iron rich water in the town’s Tewitt Well. The upper classes of Georgian England began to flock to Harrogate to take the spring waters for their perceived health benefits. Harrogate consequently became a popular spa venue and much of today’s town centre dates from this period of rapid growth during the Georgian era. The arrival of the railways in the 1850s accelerated the town’s growth, yet Harrogate still has its compact feel, enhanced by open spaces and green parkland. The stylish West Park Hotel feels very much at home in the heart of Harrogate.
