Holiday Inn York City Centre

The location
Piccadilly runs along the River Foss from Pavement down to the castle area. The hotel is around 130 metres from York Castle Museum, with Clifford's Tower beside it, and the Fishergate Postern Tower, a surviving piece of the city walls, is almost next door. It is a busy road, but the old city starts as soon as you cross it.
Who it suits
A familiar international brand in a walkable spot suits families, couples and business travellers alike. Being on the south side of the centre means the Shambles, the markets and the Minster are all reachable on foot, and the walls offer an easy circuit. For visitors arriving by car, staying on the edge of the centre avoids the narrowest historic streets.
Nearby
The Postern Gate and the Masons Arms are close for a drink or pub meal. York Castle Museum, with its recreated Victorian street, is a strong first stop. Travelodge York Central and Hampton by Hilton are nearby alternatives. Clifford's Tower's viewing platform gives one of the best panoramas over York's rooftops, and the Coppergate area with the Jorvik Viking Centre is a few minutes further on.
