Standing in the shadow of York Minster, the Dean Court Hotel, BW Premier Collection enjoys, without a doubt, the finest location of any hotel in the city (if not the country)! History and heritage lay on our doorstep, with the county capital's major attractions, boutique shops and eateries all a short walk away. Speaking of walks, the city's famous ghost tours are well worth joining, while plenty of parkland can be enjoyed on a relaxing stroll through the nearby museum gardens. York Races is of course a draw if you fancy a flutter, but the safest bet of all is our award-winning cuisine and fine wines! Leeds, Harrogate and Knaresborough are all within easy reach, but we agree with the Vikings and Romans. York is the place to be! Please note that if the room description does not state breakfast is included, then it is for only the room. Opposite York Minster. Hotel's own secure car park - few moments away - complimentary valet parking. Car park charge 20 GBP per day. Enjoy your stay.
