Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection By Hilton – A Favorite for Families in York

The Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection By Hilton, occupies a 19th-century mansion redesigned by Mackintosh contemporary George Walton. It houses one of the United Kingdom's most complete Art Nouveau collections, including original stained-glass windows, murals, and stencils. This historical townhouse architecture has been restored to display these decorative arts throughout the public areas.

The hotel offers 60 rooms distributed between the main house and separate courtyard lodge buildings. Premium Reward Rooms provide two separate rooms with wooden floors, while Courtyard Classic Rooms include covered walkway access. Each room comes with tea and coffee facilities, a safe, iron and board, and a private bathroom with rainfall shower or roll-top bath.

Leetham's Brasserie serves breakfast and dinner using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. The full English breakfast includes hot food cooked to order, alongside a continental buffet. Guests can order special diet menus and kids' meals, with wine and champagne available from the bar.

The hotel sits within a 10-minute walk of York's ancient city walls and a further 5 to 10 minutes from York Minster. York Racecourse is a few minutes away, and York Railway Station is a 10-minute walk. A bus stop outside the hotel provides a 3-minute ride into the city centre, and limited on-site parking is available for £18 per 24 hours.

The Elmbank welcomes dogs with pet bowls, pet baskets, and accommodations that allow dogs in designated rooms. Families receive board games and puzzles, plus kids' meals available at Leetham's Brasserie. The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage and private check-in/check-out for all guests.
