Quaint narrow streets with half-timbered houses, shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants all help entice visitors to the charming city of York. York main station is reachable within a few minutes’ walk.

A boutique Art Nouveau hotel in historic York. Minutes from the heart of the city, overlooking the Knavesmire Strays, lies the Elmbank Hotel, a unique 19th-century mansion with a rich history. Redesigned by Mackintosh contemporary, George Walton, the Elmbank hotel is home to one of the finest and most complete Art Nouveau collections in the UK. Here, impressive stained-glass, beautiful murals, and detailed stencils meld with modern and sophisticated facilities to provide a space of style, comfort, and interest.

The Elmbank Hotel has been tastefully rejuvenated to offer a harmonious blend of old and new features, seamlessly complemented by plush, colourful interiors, all inspired by Art Nouveau patterns and the equestrian roots of the city to which it calls home.

Our new Leetham´s Brasserie, have been created in homage to the history and heritage of the hotel itself, whilst also taking influence from the surrounding areas serving up locally sourced produce wherever possible making it the place to be for authentic Yorkshire hospitality with personalised service, carefully crafted menus and a welcoming ambience.
