THE GRAND, YORK 01904 380 038 | www.thegrandyork.co.uk As the name suggests, The Grand, York is one of the most impressive and iconic buildings in the city. Formerly the headquarters of the wealthy North Eastern Railway Company, the Grade II listed Edwardian building is bursting with architectural features including striking gable detailing and a bold gabled centrepiece. Only the best materials were used in its construction in 1906 including Huddlestone stone from a local quarry, an area which provided much of the limestone for York Minster. Offering views of the iconic City Walls which once enclosed the whole of York, The Courtyard provides the perfect setting for an alfresco reception. The Courtyard was beautifully renovated in 2021 to include a dedicated bar and barn for cosy evening events. The hotel’s impressive interior is characterised by wonderful detailing – such as beautiful garland ceilings and skilfully carved stone flourishes.
