If you’re on the hunt for a luxury escape close to home, look no further than Hotel du Vin Harrogate. Set in the idyllic Yorkshire spa town, the boutique hotel blends Georgian period architecture with a dash of modern yet traditional charm in its interiors – think leather Chesterfield sofas mixed with contemporary wall lights. The 48 rooms and suites boast a distinct vibe. We’re coveting the Signature Suite and its open plan bathroom with twin roll top bathtubs (bathe like royals, eh?)

If there’s one thing Hotel du Vin Harrogate takes seriously, it’s (obvs) wine. The French-style bistro serves everything from a recently launched brunch menu (with tasty staples like Eggs Benedict, Avo’ on Toast and crêpes) available on Saturdays 11 am-2 pm, to a hearty Sunday lunch, but the 600+ wines housed in the stunning glass-walled cellar take the cake.

Soon-to-be brides will love the Lombard room (with high ceilings, ornate mirrors and front-row view of the courtyard) which seats up to 60 guests – it’s a fabulous space for receptions.

Base yourself at Hotel du Vin Harrogate to explore some of Yorkshire’s natural gems such as the nearby Yorkshire Dales National Park, only a 25-minute drive away, or opt for a walk at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Harlow Carr which is only 7 minutes from the hotel.
