Dining & Rooftop Bar

The hotel operates Sora, a rooftop bar and restaurant offering cocktails and tapas with panoramic views of York. Guests can also dine at Chez Mal Brasserie & Bar, which serves British and Japanese cuisines in a modern setting. A variety of breakfast offerings, including full English and continental options, are available each morning.

Rooms & Accommodations

Club rooms at Malmaison York provide spacious layouts with views of York Minster, as noted by guests. Family rooms accommodate groups with a double sofa bed and a separate private bathroom, distinct from the open-plan standard rooms. The hotel is pet-friendly for a small fee and includes pet bowls and baskets upon request.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The hotel sits 500 metres from York Minster and a 4-minute walk from York Railway Station, making it a base for exploring the city. Bettys Cafe Tea Rooms and the National Railway Museum are within walking distance, as is the historic Shambles street. Leeds Bradford International Airport is 47 km away.

Wellness & Fitness

An on-site fitness centre is available for guests, stocked with air conditioning and a range of equipment. The hotel also offers spa treatments that can be booked separately, providing a relaxation option after a day out. Changing facilities and lockers are accessible for guests using the gym.

Services & Accessibility

The hotel provides accessible parking, an electric vehicle charging station, and a parking garage with spaces that can be reserved. Facilities for disabled guests include wheelchair-accessible routes, grab rails in toilets, and an emergency cord in the bathroom. Meeting and banquet facilities are available, along with 24-hour front desk service and luggage storage.

“Malmaison York stands out for its themed boutique ambiance and prime location, steps away from York Minster and the Shambles. The rooftop dining at Sora promises panoramic views, complementing the high-quality dining at Chez Mal Brasserie & Bar. While some rooms might need a lighting upgrade, the overall experience emphasizes style and convenience for exploring historic York.”

Really good City Hotel Experience

modern room hospitable staff quality food
The room was modern. It was like a holiday hotel. Staff members were very hospitable and respectful. I will definitely consider this brand for future city breaks. The breakfast food was also great.

a generally adequate stay

helpful staff complimentary prosecco poor lighting low mirror
the staff were helpful . i received a voucher for complimentary prosecco as my stay was for a birthday. the room included thoughtful features like hooks for coats. the bed was comfortable with good quality bedlinen.
the room's lighting wasn't great when i wanted to get ready for the evening. there's a fixed mirror in the bathroom. it is too low to see your face when seated. the only bright area for makeup was the toilet area.
