York hotel named among the ‘hottest new hotels’ in the world in TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2023 beating hotels in Paris, Dubai and Spain

TripAdvisor awards the Best of the Best annually to businesses all over the world who have made a positive impact on the hospitality industry and the people they serve. Yorkshire has been voted in two categories such as the Scarborough B&B that won the best place to stay in the world and this York hotel that has been named among the ‘hottest new hotels’ in the world.

These awards are based on reviews and ratings collected over a 12-month period. These winners are decided by the public, real travellers from all over the world, sharing real opinions and stories.

The winners are a celebration of all the places discovered and all the times grabbing opportunities and embarking on adventures. No.1 By GuestHouse in York is a boutique hotel in the heart of York, just a 10-minute walk from York Minster.

It came in ninth place in the list of the best new hotels in the world, ahead of hotels based in some of the most popular summer destinations including Paris, Dubai, Portugal and Spain. The building is a Grade II listed regency townhouse with sash windows, high ceilings, a sweeping central staircase, and an ivy covered door.

There are pantries stocked full of treats inside the hotel, along with great restaurant food throughout the day, drinks from the bar and a spa centred on bespoke therapies.

Each bedroom has its own quirk due to the building’s rich heritage and they feature a flat-screen Smart TV, tea/coffee making facilities, an iron and hairdryer in the wardrobe.

At the spa there are five treatment rooms, including a room for two and a soothing space for post-treatment relaxation. The chefs also curate dishes from breakfast through to supper and the bar team serves all day.
