Best Hotels in Bootham, York

If you want to be close to the centre of York but not amongst the busy, crowded streets, choosing a hotel in Bootham is a good option. As one of the smarter residential areas, and just outside the city walls, Bootham has plenty of advantages: it’s a quick easy walk to the centre; many of the best hotels in Bootham offer parking; there are local shops and restaurants, and the surrounding streets are pleasant and quiet. If you’re arriving in York by train, there’s also a lovely walk to Bootham from the station, across parkland and the river.

For designer interiors

• Clementines is situated on a quiet residential street in Bootham. It offers a range of stunning rooms with a rich designer style and quirky feel. Plus there's plenty of space to relax in the walled garden and spacious lounge. Breakfast only.
• The Bishop and The Bison is a smart B&B situated on the edge of Bootham and offers eight individually styled rooms which reflect the owners' love fo both Americana and Victoriana! Expect statement wallpapers and carefully curated selection of art from up-and-coming local artists and rural townships in the US, plus superb service and fantastic attention to detail.

For Families

If you're planning to visit York with the whole family, we'd recommend No 1. As well as a good range of rooms your little ones can expect in-room tipis, bedtime books, pantry treats, and a kids' menu in the restaurant. Oh, and the dog can come too!

Breakfast-only Bootham hotels

• For a beautifully peaceful stay, take a look at 23 St Mary’s, a smart Victorian townhouse in one of Bootham’s quieter residential streets between the river and the Minster. Rooms are handsomely traditional, peppered with antiques, and there’s a large inviting sitting-room for relaxing after a busy day of sight-seeing.
