Hotel in York

 

 Guy Fawkes

Guy FawkesToday the inn is the finest in the city and one of the best-preserved in the country. Standing in the shadow of York Minster, valued throughout, this ancient inn was the birthplace of the notorious plotter intent on blowing up the Houses of Parliament on 5 November 1605. It is also home to the world-famous the hotel Ghost Walk. With gas lighting, and above all, timber floors, roaring log fires, huge settles, ales served from barrels behind the bar and a grandfather clock ticking in the corner, this dark and mysterious inn is a treasure. Free parking is available in the centre of York; reserve your car parking permit when making your reservation. There are beautiful hotel bedrooms and the stunning Belfry Suite.

Rooms

Take the winding, uneven timber staircase to the top of the inn and you will quickly discover what makes Guy Fawkes such a unique place. You will feel as though you can almost touch the Minster from some of the bedrooms! The Belfry Suite has a perfect view of the church where Fawkes was baptised. Whichever room you choose, you will find it to be beautifully decorated and furnished. Sit back with a bottle of chilled champagne and take time to relax and think about the history that surrounds you.
