“Located in the Mount area of York - Hotel du Vin has delightful, elegant bedrooms in a charming 19th Century, listed building. Expect lots of cosy romantic spots to enjoy drinks and nibbles before venturing out to explore this fabulous city. A chic base.”

Hotel review

Fashioned from a Grade II building that’s done service as offices, an orphanage and a 19th century family home, York’s Hotel du Vin may not be one of the chain’s more characterful examples (most rooms are located in purpose built extensions) but it’s certainly our best recommendation for a stay in town. The well-appointed bedrooms – with warm splashes of colour –are reasonably priced and there’s a fine example of Hotel du Vin signature bistro, with a racing theme, as well as a wine room for tastings and a cigar shack for puffings.

Hotel du Vin & Bistro York

This is classic Hotel du Vin with a period building (in this case, an orphanage) given a dark and clubby makeover. It's comfortable without being fussy and smart without feeling too formal. Bedrooms are crisp with excellent bathrooms while food is classic French with a rich wine list.
