No.1. York hotel named one of the ‘hottest’ by TripAdvisor

No.1. York, in Clifton, has been named in TripAdvisor’s list of the ‘Hottest new hotels’ in the world in its Travellers’ Choice awards.

The hotel came in at number nine on the list – placing ahead of hotels in locations including Paris and Dubai.

It was the only hotel in the UK to make the list of 25 and boasts a five-star rating on TripAdvisor, with reviewers crediting its look and location just a short walk from York Minster.

The Grade-II listed regency town house was previously called the Grange and dates back to around 1840, when it was known as Bootham Grange.

In December 2021 it was taken under new ownership of Guest brothers Tristan, James, and Tom who run boutique hotel chain GuestHouse.

Recently, the hotel opened its new restaurant, Pearly Cow, in March - with a range of high quality meat, vegetable, and seafood dishes now on the menu.

The hotel's general manager, Paul Hunter, said its success comes down to the hard work of everyone at No.1.

“It's great to see No.1 York by GuestHouse Hotels being recognised amongst so many wonderful properties from across the world,” he said.

“I know the team are incredibly proud that all their hard work is being commended. 

“This award recognises that real people come and stay at No.1, maybe visit our spa or enjoy our afternoon tea and enjoy it so much that they want to write a review and thank the team, which is really wonderful. 

“This award really confirms that we’re doing something right!

“I think most importantly this is recognition for all the hard work everyone involved with No.1 has put in.

“We are very lucky to work with incredible people, people who truly care about our guests and put them at the forefront of what we do.
