“This once genteel town, a place for tea and scones at Betty's famous teashop, is changing and the hip Hotel du Vin has caught the zeitgeist. If there's a slightly corporate feel to this upmarket chain, it is forgivable because it goes with professionalism and means that the power shower is piping hot and the rooms, done out in fashionable greys and browns, are spotless. There's also an excellent bistro, sophisticated champagne and claret bar, and pool table in the 'snug'.”

“Created from a row of eight Georgian-styled houses that have been used as a hotel since the 1930s, Hotel du Vin Harrogate features 48 bedrooms and airy loft suites. Located close to the town centre, the hotel overlooks The Stray, a magnificent 200-acre common, and offers a billiards room, cellar snug, the newly added Health du Vin with its extensive range of treatments and alfresco dining in the courtyard during the summer months.”
