Inspired by the city’s rich, chocolatey past, Hotel Indigo York has designed its rooms in sumptuous cocoa colours, complete with antique jelly-mould light fittings and muted, soft furnishings. Once you’ve devoured a tuna niçoise or a hearty cheeseburger at the No. 88 Walmgate restaurant, step into the rainfall shower before sinking into the velvety Egyptian cotton bedlinen for the best night’s sleep of your life.

With uniquely decorated rooms and warm greetings from staff, Marmadukes Town House Hotel is known for its attention to detail. With a variety of rooms to suit all budgets, there’s something at Marmadukes for everyone. We recommend the King Suite with its double power shower and the not-so-discreet barrel sauna. Yes, you read that correctly, a whole private sauna to yourself.
