Malmaison York

You'll find Malmaison tucked into one of York's most atmospheric corners, right on Rougier Street where the old railway infrastructure still frames the skyline. The building itself is a proper character—all exposed brick and soaring ceilings that remind you this place has serious heritage. It's the sort of hotel that doesn't feel like you're checking into a chain; instead you're stepping into something with genuine personality, where the restaurant and bar have become destination spots rather than just afterthoughts for overnight guests.
