Y ork certainly doesn’t lack for sights, what with the magnificent Minster cathedral overlooking an enormous National Railway Museum, the medieval Shambles shopping lanes, a vast racecourse and York’s Chocolate Story where visitors can swot up on the city’s chocolate families — Rowntree’s and Terry’s. But where is best to stay? With nearly 9 million tourists coming here annually, choice abounds: options include luxurious dens repurposing centrally-located heritage buildings; cool, contemporary boutiques in quieter, convenient suburbs; and rural country-house retreats a few miles away — and mighty handy for day-trips to the Dales. We’ve listed 14 of the top hotels in York to make for a memorable stay.
