Built in 1906 as a ‘Palace of Business’, originally the headquarters for one of the most powerful railway companies in England, it was built during the Golden Age of travel. The Grand is an iconic building, which reflects the elegance and glamour of the period, the success and wealth of the company that commissioned it.
In 2010, this imposing building was reborn as one of Yorkshire’s finest hotels and meeting spaces. Splendidly retaining many of its original features, The Grand exudes luxury and grandeur and has a reputation for exceptional service in the style and tradition you would expect from a five-star hotel, combined the warmest of Yorkshire welcomes.
The Grand, York is surrounded by the longest and best-preserved medieval walls in England. York is steeped in a rich history dating back to the Romans and the Vikings. The architecture and visitor attractions are testament to this, with a roll call of cultural treasures, museums and art.
The Grand Boardroom is our flagship space accommodating up to 120 delegates. A vast, majestic room with floor to ceiling wood panelling, huge windows, and an original parquet floor, the room enjoys grand views of York Minster and the City Walls. The board table that once hosted meetings between the railway elite, political players and the great and good of Yorkshire business was so large it had to be cut up to be removed! Today we deploy the space in much more flexible ways, making it suitable for an event, party, private function or presentation.

Tracy Wakeling
a fabulous stay with amazing staff, especially Francesco in the breakfast room! a couple of things though. The brass work in the lifts was extremely grubby and should be dealt with. from the breakfast room windows it was clear the window surroundings and brickwork are in dire need of cleaning. the price of drinks in the bar we do feel is excessive especially as there is a service charge for each round! it's a beautiful hotel though and we will return

I had a wonderful stay. The building and interior are beautiful. The staff were accommodating. My room was of a good standard; comfortable and clean. I especially enjoyed my time in the lobby bar and can recommend the cocktail 'The King's Tipple'.

Lovely stay with work. Nice big spacious room. The staff was welcoming and even had a warm welcome cookie. Nice sea view when enjoying breakfast, the restaurant staff was tentative and served a nice breakfast.. Short walk to the shops. Would recommend.

Great location for accessing the main sites of Brighton. Service was lovely throughout, especially breakfast. Had an issue with the shower that was sorted by some money off the final bill. Also the remote didn't work properly, I couldn't switch the TV off instantly. It would go off after a few minutes when I had pressed the standby button and then switched on again a minute or so after. Weird.

Stayed at the grand the other night. Was treated by pleasant staff who were polite and helpful staff. The bar area is very nice as well. Our room was good but for the price that was paid I think it’s unacceptable to have two single beds pushed together to make a double and it did definitely make the experience less enjoyable. And in the morning from 9:30 the radiators were very loud which was irritating while getting ready to check out. Would stay again if those issues can be sorted.
