One of York's treasures, the BEST WESTERN hotel is at the heart of York overlooking the city walls, just a Roman stone's throw away from the city's historic landmarks. Five minutes from York Minster and the famous Shambles, you'll also be within easy reach of the city's selection of individual designer shops and boutiques.

Exploring York and Yorkshire

York is the perfect place to stay, and from here you can explore the best that Yorkshire has to offer - the Moors, the Dales and the rugged coast with hidden fishing villages. There's a wealth of historic houses and awesome gardens right on the doorstep. Further afield you can enjoy locations made famous by writers and television- from Haworth and the Bronte country to the setting for Emmerdale, and Goatland - the location for Heartbeat.
