Middletons Hotel

Middletons Hotel is a boutique hotel set within a collection of historic buildings inside York’s city walls. Its character combines period surroundings with contemporary accommodation, creating a base for short breaks, city visits and business stays.

The bedrooms are air-conditioned and designed as part of the hotel’s boutique offering. A relaxed restaurant provides the main dining setting, making the hotel suitable for guests looking to eat on site as well as those using it as a place to stay. The atmosphere is informal and considered rather than formal, with hospitality at the centre of the experience.

Alongside accommodation and dining, Middletons Hotel offers a gym and modern business spaces. The meeting and event facilities make it suitable for work gatherings, client meetings and organised occasions, while the hotel setting also supports leisure stays. The mix of bedrooms, food, fitness and workspace gives the venue a broad appeal for visitors with different reasons for being in the city.

A distinctive feature is the York Gin Distillery partnership based at the hotel. Experiences include learning about gin production, tasting sessions and cocktail-making classes, adding an activity-led option to a stay or visit. These experiences sit alongside other hotel packages focused on dining, theatre trips, sparkling wine and festive breaks.

The setting works well for guests who want historic surroundings without giving up modern facilities. The hotel is close to the city’s cultural attractions, including Clifford’s Tower, while its restaurant, gym and meeting rooms provide reasons to spend time on site. It suits couples planning a short break, visitors arranging a food-led stay, and businesses seeking a central venue for meetings or events.
