Leisure
Nestling beneath the city's ancient walls, the Royal York Hotel stands proud in beautifully kept gardens and has spectacular views overlooking the historic city and York Minster.
The hotel is within walking distance of the city centre, its attractions and places of interest including the National Railway Museum, all-new York Eye, York Race Course and The Shambles with it's traditional and sometimes unusual shops. There is no better way to relax than enjoying a boat trip on the River Ouse or for the more adventurous, maybe a guided ghost walk around the city.
The hotel is also an ideal base from which to visit popular nearby towns such as Harrogate and Ripon or the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales with the popular resort of Scarborough and seaside fishing town of Whitby being a little further afield.
