The Grand, York, aptly named, stands as the only five-star hotel within York’s city center, in view of the city’s original walls. Step outside this 207-room Edwardian gem (and former North Eastern Railway Company headquarters) for an easy stroll to the medieval walls and main shopping streets, then return for a culinary class in the esteemed cookery school. Set aside time to slip into our 1906 Bar for a signature Champagne cocktail.
