Make this Christmas a time for relaxation and indulgent celebrations. With its stunning original, 20th-century features blended with contemporary decadence, the festive season at The Grand, York, is magical in every way. Decorations lace the elegant Edwardian architecture; Christmas lights twinkle in the palatial marble corridors and live music floats throughout the Grade II listed building.
Standing within the historic city walls, The Grand’s idyllic location makes it the perfect place from which to explore the city’s quaint streets. Visit York’s historic gems, go Christmas shopping, and then experience The Grand’s decadent, festive culinary offerings, retreat to the hotel’s serene spa or enjoy an immersive class at the Cookery School.
The Grand hosts an array of festive experiences to ensure you and your loved ones get into the seasonal spirit, from Christmas in the Courtyard, where you can cosy-up with a mulled wine in hand, accompanied by a sweet treat and live music, to an exquisite afternoon tea with a twist, complete with a selection of picture-perfect pastries and a moreish Christmas cocktail. With options to upgrade to prosecco, champagne or gin, our festive afternoon tea makes for the perfect Christmas treat!
Ring in the New Year at York’s best address, whether you opt for a fine-dining experience like no other in Legacy, The Grand’s newest launch, with locality and sustainability at its helm.
Legacy’s head chef, Ahmed Abdalla, has carefully curated eight incredible courses that can be perfectly paired with a Prestige wine flight, serve by our in-house sommelier Derek Scaife.
