Hilton York

Location

The hotel faces Clifford's Tower, the keep of York's castle on its mound, and sits close to the river and the York Castle Museum end of town. The Shambles and the Minster are further north, within walking distance, and the National Railway Museum is about 20 minutes away on foot. Staying here puts you on the castle side of the centre, with the main shopping streets a few minutes north.

Rooms and facilities

All 131 rooms have been refurbished, and select rooms come with a private balcony looking over Clifford's Tower, worth asking for when booking. Tower's Restaurant serves on site, alongside a lounge and bar, and there are eight meeting and event spaces, so expect some business guests during the week. It suits city-break couples and anyone who wants to walk everywhere.

Around the hotel

Clifford's Tower is about 70 metres away, The York Dungeon is a short walk, and Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is close by. For coffee, Café Shiraz and Forever Coffee are both within about 100 metres. Clifford's Tower makes an obvious first visit straight from the hotel door, before you head north into the old streets.
