Independent "Located down a quiet, ancient cobbled street adjacent to York Minster and the Treasurer’s House, Gray’s Court really is old York at its luxurious, romantic best"
Independent "Grays Court was originally the residence of York Minster’s first treasurer (hence its handy proximity to the soaring cathedral) and, over the last millennia, has played host to lords, knights and kings"
Independent "The hotel’s 12 bedrooms blend earthy tones with characterful antique furniture...there are plenty of inviting spots to hunker down with a book in the oak-panelled gallery."

The Telegraph9.0
"The exterior is vast, impressive, turn-of-the-century metropolitan grandeur, with restored red brick and creamy moulded stonework." Full review
Fodor's "This handsome, comfortable hotel is near the train station—not surprising, considering it was formerly the headquarters of the regional railroad." Full review
Independent "As York’s only five-star hotel, The Grand occupies a building to match its reputation...with 207 rooms, it’s more boutique in feel than in size; a highlight is the marble bathrooms."
Independent "Less than a minute’s walk from the railway station, York’s first five-star hotel is grand in both name and nature"
