The Grand, York, is located in one of the historic city's most iconic buildings, offering guests a unique approach to inclusive luxury. A destination for memorable experiences and unforgettable service, The Grand delivers fine Yorkshire hospitality, from locally sourced food and beverage to bespoke experiential packages, including its highly popular Dark Skies experience, which launched last year, offering guests the opportunity for an unforgettable stargazing experience in partnership with the North York Moors.

The award-winning hotel features 207 rooms alongside a relaxing spa, state-of-the-art cookery school, world-class event facilities and exclusive food and beverage outlets including The Rise Restaurant Terrace & Bar for all-day dining, The 1906 Bar and Hudsons for intimate dining. With multi-functional rooms, The Grand is also one of the top wedding venues in the north for both intimate and grand affairs.

We're so pleased to be able to celebrate their achievements this evening and offer a huge congratulations to all of our winners."
