Welcome to The Grand, York's first and only AA five-star rated hotel. This stunning hotel opened in May 2010 following the extensive refurbishment of the former North Eastern Railway headquarters – one of York’s most iconic Edwardian buildings. Originally constructed in 1906 as a ‘Palace of Business’ for what was then one of the most powerful public companies in the country, today it is the region’s leading luxury hotel and has established a global reputation for its first-class service, stylish bedrooms and unique historic atmosphere. Following a £15 million refurbishment in 2017, The Grand now boasts 207 individually designed bedrooms, a beautiful spa to relax, a destination restaurant, a cocktail bar and meeting & event spaces. There is something for everybody to enjoy - we look forward to welcoming you soon!

On arrival the door and reception staff were really polite and helpful. First impression is always really important and they certainly gave off that the hotel was a 5* hotel. We stopped in a classic room, and the room was very spacious. A separate toilet and bath/shower room, aswell as a large tv with sky sports etc. Downsides of the room were that the furniture and decor was quite outdated and the pillows were uncomfortable. You get a complimentary hour in the spa which is good. It’s quite a basic spa, pool and steam room, however as mentioned as it’s free it’s good value. Although was disappointed with the lack of spa treatment appointments available, main reason for booking hotel was due to partners birthday so wanted to treat them to a spa treatment, however when I enquired a couple of weeks before trip was told there wasn’t any availability due to lack of appointments down to covid. We parked in the NCP on tanner row, however even with the hotel discount it’s still really expensive. There are other car parks within a 5 min walk for half the price. Overall the staff and location are perfect, however due to let down of the spa means I probably wouldn’t stay again.…

All the hotel team are professional, polite and caring. We have stayed in luxury hotels all over the world and The Grand is, without doubt one of the most impressive. Everyone made our stay so special as we were coming to collect our wedding rings for our wedding in April. We will treasure memories of our stay for years to come 😊

Beautifully historic building of the type rarely seen any more. Really quiet in the large airy room, comfortable bed, toilet and bathroom /shower separate which we liked. Just the pillows were the only downside. Flatter ones would have been apprecited as well as the high ones provided.

Staff are very helpful and friendly, keen to help at every opportunity. I have stayed at the hotel on 2 occasions before and will return again. Excellent city location and close to the train station make it ideal for a short luxury break.
