Dating from 1878, the Royal Hotel is an extremely grand Victorian property surrounded by 3 acres of landscaped gardens, with sweeping views of York Minster on the other side of the Ouse. Plentiful parking is available for both cars and coaches. The spacious lobby features a grand, sweeping staircase and offers plenty of seating.

Varying in size due to the age of the building, the 167 guestrooms all have high speed internet connection and a work space for quietly putting the final touches to that presentation or sitting with your feet up after a day exploring York city. Homely and comfortable, all are clean and decently maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms.

The stylish Tempus Restaurant and Tempus Bar offer modern British food and international dishes. Including light snacks and three course meals.

Let your cares melt away in the sauna, steam room or heated indoor pool at the hotels onsite leisure club. Or book a fitness assessment and then a personal training session, working on the cardiovascular equipment at our fully-equipped gym.
