Stay in York city centre in a gorgeous Hilton hotel. The Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly is a smart hotel nestled in the heart of the town’s shopping district. With a three star plus rating for travel sustainability, we love this place. Any hotel trying to meet climate targets gets an A+ in our books.

This 4-star hotel is set in grey/brown stone, lit up at night, and looks like you are coming home to your aunt and uncles stately house. When you step inside, the reception area is neat and welcoming. The hotel is near to attractions like the castle and the famous ringed city wall.

The rooms in the Hampton by Hilton in York are stunningly decorated to a classic but modern design. They use soft white sheets with high thread counts coupled with chic parquet flooring and soft grey and blue furnishings. They have floor to ceiling windows with wonderful thick drapes to block out the light.

Reviewers love the location as well as the city views from the top floors. The rooms are bright and lovely, and the hotel has a nearby car park you can use. Reviewers also noted that breakfast here is excellent, and encourage you to dig in.
