The design of the hotel takes inspiration from the city’s industrial heritage and brutalist architecture, mixing concrete and moody elements with softer textures and confectionery touch points, drawing on York’s famous alumni including the Rowntree and the Terry families. As a city, York has always had so much to offer; from its Roman and Viking roots to the cosmopolitan city it is today. Situated on the corner of Rougier Street, the hotel is a stone’s throw away from some of the city’s most famous attractions, including York Minster, York Castle and the historic city walls. The River Ouse is both a few minute walks away, with the Yorkshire Museum and Gardens, York Art Gallery and the world‑famous university a short walk over the bridge.
