Relax, unwind and escape with our selection of spas in York. There's a perfect spa experience for everyone.
This historic walled city in the Northeast of England is rich in heritage, hospitality and charm. Founded by the Romans, it sits on the River Ouse and centres around its vast 13th century cathedral, York Minster. The surrounding architecture very much reflects its past, and all in, it offers a diverse range of experiences for visitors, and is a particularly romantic city for a spa break.
In addition to its architecture, York has a very sweet past that’s still alive today. It’s the home of confectionary pioneers such as the Rowntree and Terry families, and continues to produce millions of chocolatey favourites each year, from KitKats to chocolate oranges. Visitors will find many world-class museums and art galleries to visit, as well as walking tours to add to a York spa break.
Spa hotels in York range from the contemporary to the historic. The Parsonage Hotel & Spa for example is just outside the city, surrounded by six acres of gardens. It references the area’s history with the Cloisters Spa but has modern facilities that are ideal for a relaxing York spa day filled with swimming, massages and a variety of other face and body treatments.
For those who want to be close to the city but spend time in the magnificent surrounding countryside, there are also many exceptional spa hotels close by. There’s the Gatsby-esque Grantley Hall in Ripon, which offers the ultimate luxury escape in an environment that’s like stepping into a fairytale. Others might prefer the relaxed rural surroundings of Chevin Country Park and Hotel. They both provide opportunities to enjoy spa breaks in their own right or to extend their experience to exploring York, the Yorkshire Dales and nearby towns and cities as well.
