2. Moxy York
Hotel
Moxy York is a trendy and vibrant, York hotel, just outside the main hub of the city. It’s situated near many of the city’s offices and apartments, so you’ll often find freelancers and digital nomads frequenting the Plug and Meet lobby areas where there’s a 24/7 food and drink service. Whether you’re in the city on a work trip or for leisure, you can still take advantage of the minimalist, reasonably priced rooms that Moxy York offers.

The Lamb and Lion Inn is one of York’s most beloved local pubs. In the warmer months, you’ll find the lush beer garden teeming with families, friends and locals sinking afternoon pints while enjoying the view of York Minster. During winter, it’ll be squish central inside, as regulars nab a seat next to the homely fireplace. The Lamb & Lion Inn oozes warm, snug comfort and the characterful bedrooms above make it a convenient place to rest your head after sampling one or two of the local ales.
7. Minster Walk Guest House

One activity that can’t be missed in York is climbing the tower at York Minster. The Minster Walk Guest House is just a stone’s throw away from the Minster on Marygate, so you’ll be in a prime location to enjoy the sweeping views that the top of the magnificent cathedral offers. If you’re inclined to splurge, the top floor is home to a spacious suite complete with wooden beams.
