Novotel York Centre

Novotel York Centre is a four-star, family-friendly hotel on Fishergate, set beside the River Foss and close to the historic city walls. The setting combines a waterside location with convenient access to the city’s cultural attractions, making the hotel suitable for leisure breaks, family stays and business travel.

The accommodation includes superior rooms with queen beds, options with sofa beds, and family rooms designed for up to four people. The room range supports different types of stays, from shorter visits for couples or solo travellers to larger family bookings. An accessible accommodation option is also available.

Food and drink are centred on the hotel’s Gourmet Bar, which serves meals, lighter snacks and afternoon tea in a relaxed setting. The bar provides an informal place for a daytime break, an evening meal or a drink without leaving the hotel. Its style is practical and welcoming, with facilities that suit both casual visits and longer stays.

A swimming pool and sauna add a leisure element to the hotel. Pool access is organised through pre-booked 30-minute daily time slots, subject to availability and safety requirements. The facilities give family and leisure guests an additional way to unwind during a stay.

The hotel also caters for meetings, private functions and larger events. Flexible meeting rooms support gatherings ranging from small sessions for two people to weddings and events for up to 120 guests. This combination of accommodation and event space makes the venue suitable for business groups, celebrations and organised occasions.

Novotel York Centre provides onsite car parking and welcomes pets, adding practical flexibility for different types of travel. Its location places the railway station and York Minster within a mile, while the Barbican Theatre is a short walk away and York Racecourse is around a ten-minute drive. The hotel therefore works as a base for exploring local history, attending events or combining city visits with a comfortable stay.
