“Hilton York benefits from its prime spot next to Clifford's Tower, offering modern comfort steeped in York's history. I especially appreciate the stylish bar, which emphasizes local gins not commonly found elsewhere; it enhances the hotel's connection to the region. Families will find the dedicated children's menu and convenient location near attractions like York Minster particularly appealing.”
