“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.”

“Located in the tranquil area known as The Mount, close to the city's historic centre, Hotel du Vin York is a beautiful Grade II-listed building that dates back to the early 19th century. Formerly a private home and an orphanage, the hotel houses 44 stylish bedrooms and suites, trademark bistro, bar and private dining rooms, along with a terrace, courtyard and inner forum for alfresco dining.”
