Elmbank Hotel and Lodge, York

North Yorkshire England

Located in the Mickelgate Ward of York overlooking York Racecourse and the Knavesmire Strays lies The Elmbank Hotel, a historical 19th-century townhouse that has been elegantly restored to offer a boutique guest experience in the heart of the city.

The interior has a blend of old and new features, inspired by Art Nouveau patterns and the equestrian roots of the city.

York’s ancient city walls can be reached in just 10 minutes’ walk, with a further 5 to 10 minutes’ walk taking guests to the historic attractions, including the spectacular York Minster. Alternatively there is a bus stop outside the hotel, and from there a bus in to town takes 3 minutes.

York Railway Station is just a 10-minute walk or few minutes by car, and the Elmbank has limited, free parking. There is also a bus stop near the hotel, with sightseeing tours going in to town. York Racecourse is a few minutes' away.
