Harrogate

Twice voted "Happiest place to live in the UK", Harrogate's charming, laid-back nature offers a true North Yorkshire welcome. And what better springboard to explore its unique atmosphere and distinctive charms than the Hotel du Vin, the most luxurious of hotels in Harrogate.

Harrogate brims with character. A delightful mix of elegant, tree-lined avenues, attractive period architecture, quirky independent shops, cobbled streets, chic bars, restaurants and cafés - and Yorkshire's famous tearooms. Sitting opposite the beautiful open grassland of The Stray is our Harrogate hotel, fashioned from a row of Georgian houses in the distinctive old town.

Outside, its classic period features provide a clue to that oh so distinctive Hotel du Vin style and relaxed ambience inside. You'll feel right at home. Relax in the walled courtyard and go al fresco. Enjoy an enticing aperitif, cocktail, or glass of fizz in the elegant, informal pewter top bar. Tuck into hearty seasonal fair in our trademark bistro. Explore over 600 wines with our expert Sommelier in the glass-walled wine cellar. Unwind with a digestif in a soft leather sofa in the Cellar Snug. Treat yourself to a pampering in our Health du Vin spa. Hold a business meeting; celebrate a family get-together, private dinner party or wedding in one of our quirky function rooms. And when sleep calls, retire to one of our 48 bedrooms to discover a huge custom-made bed with hand-sprung mattress, soft Egyptian bed linen, fluffy robes and towels, and monsoon shower or deep roll top bath.

As they say round these parts, "By 'eck, tha's grand."
