No 1 by GuestHouse York | Hotel in Bootham, York

No 1 by GuestHouse, York is a Hotel in Bootham that puts you close to the city’s most familiar sights, with York Minster about a 10-minute walk away and York Railway Station around 15 minutes on foot. Set in a Grade II listed Regency townhouse, it pairs period details with an easy city stay, from sash windows and a sweeping central staircase to ivy by the entrance. The setting gives your time in York a quiet sense of place without pulling you away from it.

Inside, the stay feels layered and personal. There are 38 bedrooms across three floors, including three suites, and each one carries its own character from the building’s heritage details. Rooms come with a flat-screen Smart TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and an iron and hairdryer in the wardrobe. Around the building, pantries stocked with treats add to the sense of an unhurried arrival, while the room layout makes it easy to settle in for a short visit or a longer stay.

Shared spaces shape the rhythm of the property. You can dine at the restaurant throughout the day, stop at the bar for a drink, and look to the spa for bespoke therapies in the cellar arches, with five treatment rooms and a calm area for rest afterward. The Marmalade Lounge serves afternoon tea, and the on-site private parking is a practical advantage if you are arriving by car. For a stay in York that combines heritage, food, and wellness in one address, this feels composed and memorable.
