The Grand, York YORK, UK


Set within the heart of one of England’s most characterful cities, The Grand, York blends Edwardian grandeur with contemporary luxury. Once the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway, its majestic redbrick and Portland stone facade stands as a monument to the golden age of rail travel, complete with original ironwork and finely preserved decorative detailing. Located just moments from York Minster and the


medieval city walls, The Grand provides an elegant base for exploring a city layered with Roman, Viking and Victorian heritage. Lantern-lit ghost walks trace York’s haunted past, while Shambles Market offers artisan food stalls showcasing Yorkshire cheeses and handmade chocolates. Beyond the city, the Howardian Hills — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — unfold in rolling countryside dotted with historic villages. Hidden within the building’s original vaults lies


SubRosa, the hotel’s serene wellness sanctuary. Recently refurbished, the spa takes its name from the Latin for under the rose, referencing both its subterranean setting and sense of seclusion. Guests


descend from the city above into an immersive environment dedicated to restoration. Hydrotherapy pools, a Himalayan salt sauna, herbal steam room and Nordic-inspired heat experiences encourage relaxation, while hammam-style rituals and results-driven facials draw on global traditions. Natural textures and softly lit spaces create an atmosphere of calm. The experience can be extended with dishes from the spa restaurant, inspired by Asian fusion flavours. The Grand’s 207 bedrooms and suites are


designed for deep rest, complemented by a fitness centre and attentive concierge service. Dining is rooted in Yorkshire’s seasons. Legacy,


the hotel’s Michelin-recognised restaurant, celebrates modern British cuisine through a regional lens, showcasing produce from trusted local suppliers. The tasting menu reflects the region’s agricultural heritage, from coastal seafood to ingredients grown on the North York Moors. The Rise Restaurant serves refined all-day dining and afternoon tea, while The Cookery School offers hands-on classes led by expert chefs.
