I\u2019ve stayed here a few times now and when I know a stay is coming up, a few days before arrival I always feel excited at the prospect of knowing that even booking a standard room means I\u2019ll have space, the comfiest of Queen beds, the best rainfall shower (and big bath) to soak off the stresses of the day.<\/p>\n<p>I think most people who visit York know about its deep history and the Grand is part of that story. During its renovation in 2010 an old Roman wall was discovered below the site. Roman coins and artefacts were also discovered whilst excavating the swimming pool.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1271\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920,h_1271\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-30x20.jpg\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min.jpg?fit=1440%2C953&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Station Rise and the Grand York hotel\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-13142\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-1440x953.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-735x487.jpg 735w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1271\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min.jpg?fit=1440%2C953&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Station Rise and the Grand York hotel\" class=\"wp-image-13142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-1440x953.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-14-min-735x487.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A true 5* hotel<\/h2>\n<p>For me it\u2019s the small<br \/>\nthings that really make a 5* hotel a true 5* hotel. Some hotels say they are 5*<br \/>\nbut as soon as you walk through the door you know they\u2019re not. However, The<br \/>\nGrand, housed in the former Edwardian railway headquarters oozes style,<br \/>\ntradition and heritage. Conveniently located on Station Rise, a stone\u2019s throw<br \/>\naway from the train station and within 5-10 minutes of everywhere you need to<br \/>\nbe near in York, staying here instantly transforms you into a place of hotel<br \/>\nheaven as soon as you walk through their doors and check in at reception.<\/p>\n<p>Concierge will<br \/>\nsmoothly take your bags from your hands and transfer them to your room as if by<br \/>\nmagic. There are fresh drinks to enjoy whilst you hand over your details,<br \/>\nsweets for your children if they\u2019re staying too and soft music playing in the<br \/>\nbackground. It\u2019s quiet but not uncomfortable, cosy but not too hot and the<br \/>\nstaff are always friendly without being too try-hard or stuffy.<\/p>\n<p>I personally find it nostalgic, (I used to work in an office in the basement of this building before The Grand took over in 2010) I find it calms and destresses me but also, despite having other favoured hotels in York (for different reasons), The Grand just feels\u2026well\u2026grand!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1029\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440,h_1029\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-30x21.jpg\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440,h_1029\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-13215\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-30x21.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-735x525.jpg 735w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1029\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440,h_1029\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-30x21.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-735x525.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My room<\/h2>\n<p>When I got back this evening I walked in having forgotten that turn-down service was a thing and thought \u201c<em>why are my slippers there, how odd<\/em>\u201d, then I saw the chocolate on my pillow\u2026followed quickly by the bottle of local Harrogate water on the bedside table.

I think it\u2019s simply because it makes you feel like you have a lot more room than you would usually have in a standard double.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The views<\/h2>\n<p>There isn\u2019t really a view out of any the windows, you\u2019ll need to book the Penthouse to see York\u2019s topsy-turvy buildings and cobbled streets, but quite honestly, despite the ceiling to floor windows and heavy pastel coloured drapes, the view really doesn\u2019t matter when staying here. The Grand itself will keep you occupied with its sweeping staircases, wide corridors, glistening chandeliers and marble and parquet floors. There\u2019s something about the smell too\u2026 it\u2019s hard to explain verbally never mind in words but in essence I would say\u2026\u2019calm\u2019. Ever so slightly floral but also clean\u2026 it can\u2019t be accidental, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920,h_1280\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-30x20.jpg\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min.jpg?fit=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-13148\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-735x490.jpg 735w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min.jpg?fit=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-16-min-735x490.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019m fully aware that<br \/>\nI\u2019ve kind of given away the game by waxing lyrical about how much I love this<br \/>\nhotel from the very beginning, but I simply don\u2019t care.

Something (aside from my family and friends) keeps pulling me back.

I send friends here who want a smaller more personal stay. It has a cosy charm that most other B&amp;B\u2019s struggle to achieve and the traditional Victorian terrace its housed in makes it feel homely.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand is where I recommend for when you want something incredibly special and somewhere that will really make you feel like your having a little bit of luxury\u2026 and it\u2019s not as expensive as you may think either. Rooms can be booked from \u00a3130 a night but quite often, especially at weekends, the prices rise to \u00a3180-200 per night.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920,h_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-30x23.jpg\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min.jpg?fit=1440%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-13157\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-30x23.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_320\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_480\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_720\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-735x551.jpg 735w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min.jpg?fit=1440%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1920\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1440\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_1536\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_30\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-30x23.jpg 30w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_320\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_480\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_720\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_webp,q_lossy,ret_img,w_735\/https:\/\/hellocuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/The-Grand-Hotel-York-5-min-735x551.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else?<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s an elegant, 130 cover Art Deco-inspired all-day brasserie called The Rise where the menus highlight the best of Yorkshire produce for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
