York
From £140/ night
A Regency townhouse near the minster with individually decorated rooms and a vaulted brasserie.
York is one of Britain's best-preserved medieval cities, with its minster, city walls and the narrow lanes of the Shambles. Its hotels range from Georgian townhouses within the walls to a seventeenth-century country house on the city's southern edge.
The area around the minster is the most atmospheric, while the streets just outside Bootham Bar are quieter. The racecourse and Fulford Road are residential, and Middlethorpe sits in parkland on the edge of the city.
The city is compact and walkable. Christmas markets and race weekends fill the hotels, so book ahead.
