We’ve done all the hard work and picked out some of York’s best hotels with hot tubs. All are hotels that know how to indulge their guests, usually with a spa, sauna, steam room and swimming pool, too.

Next to York station, the magnificent Principal hotel – a former Victorian railway hotel – has a small leisure club in its lower levels that includes a spa whirlpool-bath as well as a pool, sauna, steam room and gym plus a small spa. Just the ticket after a long train journey or a hard day’s sight-seeing. Bedrooms are wonderfully relaxing, too, in sleek and calm colours.
A few minutes from The Principal, and in the former headquarters of the North Eastern Railway Company, The Grand has also converted its subterranean vaults area into a leisure complex with spa whirlpool, pool and spa treatment rooms. This five-star hotel lives up to its name, with generous-size bedrooms, and plenty of areas to relax.
