Welcome to the 5-star Grand Hotel & Spa, the finest luxury hotel in York. This is a unique hotel with a rich, 100 year history that lends it an atmosphere quite unlike anywhere else: luxurious yet cosy, refined yet welcoming. It is York's first 5-star hotel and the only 5-star hotel in Yorkshire, so from the sumptuous suites to the award-winning restaurant to the opulent Spa, each detail is designed to delight. The Grand is a historic hotel in a historic city. You're the latest in a long line of visitors - York has welcomed Vikings, Romans and medieval knights. Grand by name, Grand by nature - the building impresses as much now as it did 100 years ago when it was built as the Yorkshire headquarters of the North Eastern Railway. A luxury hotel isn't for visiting, it's for living in. This may be a luxury 5-star hotel, but for however long you stay it's your home. Find your own special corner - a snug leather armchair in the Whisky Lounge to a lounger in the Spa. Afternoon Tea is a great British tradition, and we have revived it with style, panache and a deep appreciation of history. Sample our Grand Afternoon Tea - the best Afternoon Tea in York - and enjoy a dining experience which is as much a treat for the eyes as it is the tastebuds. Our award-winning Hudson's restaurant delivers a Yorkshire twist on a 5-star classic. We combine hand-picked produce with the best of world cuisine in a menu that changes constantly to showcase seasonal ingredients at their best. Sink back into the cosy beds; take cocktails in the bar; dine in Hudson's or be pampered in the vaulted Spa. Just make sure you take your time – luxury should be savoured.
