Harrogate neighbourhoods

Harrogate Centre is the home to many restaurants, nightclubs and attractions. Consisting of rows of period architecture on handsome tree-lined streets, Harrogate's city centre is a picture-perfect UK city break destination. Parliament Street cuts the centre from north to south before snaking into West Park and dropping you off at the beautiful and large, cherry-lined parklands known as The Stray. To get a real feel of the city, head to the trendy Montpellier Quarter from your Harrogate hotel. Sometimes called the 'Kensington of the North', this area is home to a number of boutique shops and interesting eateries. Here, the town takes on a more rustic air, the perfect place to enjoy a steaming latte among the numerous hanging baskets, something the town is famous for.

Shopping in Harrogate

The main focus for shoppers is around James Street, Cambridge Street and Oxford Street, but for a more local experience, head to the Montpellier Quarter which is home to over 20 antique dealers along with countless other luxury and boutique shops and art galleries. For some of the city's best antiques, head to the Harrogate Antiques Centre or Montpellier Mews Antiques Market. The proximity between the Montpellier Quarter and our luxurious hotel in Harrogate, make it a convenient shopping spot for our guests.

Eating and drinking in Harrogate

Betty's Tea Room is one of the most popular spots in town to take afternoon tea. In fact, the tearoom is so popular that it's common for long lines of eager patrons to form on the street on the weekends. To avoid lengthy lines, order your food to go, and enjoy it at a nearby park or in your Harrogate hotel. Harrogate is also home to a number of sophisticated fine-dining restaurants such as the Quantro Restaurant, which is Michelin listed and has earned a rosette. The Drum and Monkey has been serving delicious seafood specialities for over thirty years and Weeston's deli is so committed to sourcing its food responsibly and locally that it has its own herd of cattle.

Culture and nightlife in Harrogate

Harrogate's nightlife destinations are clustered around the centre of the city, and range from lively bars to trendy lounges. The Blues Cafe Bar is a favourite with locals and features live music from regional musicians. It's a great place to grab a pint before heading on out for further excitement in the centre. For cocktails instead of beer, head to Revolution, which is famous for its vodka mixes, along with fresh traditional pub food. Revolution's sister-club is also located within the building, and is noted for its rum cocktails. It is open late into the night and is within easy walking distance of our hotel in Harrogate centre. During the day, Harrogate is full of great cultural attractions. The historic Turkish Baths, located in the centre of town, are not to be missed and make for a relaxing day out. There is also a Royal Pump House Museum nearby, which hosts historic tours and gives visitors the opportunity to sample some of Harrogate's famous mineral water - exciting stuff! Outdoors, Harrogate offers many scenic spaces and gardens, including the RHS Garden Harlow Carr. The Harrogate Theatre puts on selection of high-brow performances while, if you fancy something a bit more relaxed, Harrogate International Centre plays host to wide selection of comedians, ballet and dance acts and musical performances.
