Best boutique hotels in York for city centre action and historical views

iStock/The Independent

A trip to York is always a good idea, but as the days get shorter and the mornings frostier, the cobbled streets and Snickelways (narrow alleys) of this historic city take on a more romantic, atmospheric quality. Visitors won’t be short of things to see and do, with cultural attractions such as York Art Gallery, Theatre Royal and The Crescent complementing the many museums and ancient sites of interest.

York’s dining game has experienced something of a renaissance in recent years with the arrival of Skosh, Roots and The Ivy. The city has an enviable pub scene too, with a reputed 365 watering holes – one for each day of the year.
