If you’re visiting this grand old Yorkshire city, then a visit to Hotel du Vin York is a must! Nestled in the resplendent Mount area of the city the Grade II listed mansion house isn’t far from all the action so after exploring the spectacular York Minster, walking the historic city walls and ambling around the famous Shambles, you don’t have to stumble too far for a bit of R’n’R back at the hotel.

Hotel du Vin York’s renowned Bistro is the perfect place to refuel after a day spent sightseeing. It’s spacious, yet pulls off a cosy, relaxed vibe full of leafy palms, mood lighting and opulent seating. You’ll find the best of French and British dishes: from moules marinière and duck cassoulet to traditional Sunday roasts. For pre or post dinner drinks there’re plenty of nooks and crannies to sit and relax with a glass(es) of wine or a cocktail. The choice of both is extensive.

For those staying, the 44 rooms and suites come with roll top baths, monsoon showers, flat screen TV’s, luxurious beds with Egyptian cotton linens. However Hotel du Vin York is more than a hotel, it also makes for a drop dead gorgeous venue for weddings and other special occasions too.

If you’re coming to York by train, the hotel is not far from the station but has on site parking if you’re driving too.

Rooms from £109 (room only) in March and £119 (room only) in April.
