The Cedar Court Grand York

The Penthouse Suite at The Grand Hotel York

15/08/13 ᛫ Add a Comment

Earlier this month I was invited to attend a swanky launch party at The Grand Hotel York. The event was to celebrate the hotel’s new outdoor terrace, and the very timely Yorkshire Day! So me and a few colleagues trotted over to The Grand Hotel York and we’re greeted with a well-deserved glass of champagne. The terrace was immaculate and perfectly secluded – a great spot for sipping a cool drink with friends on a summers evening (as we soon found out).

Being folk in the travel industry and all, we were treated to a grand tour of the hotel, which included a sneak peak around the gorgeous penthouse suite. Slept in by royalty, A-listers and a few of the nation’s sweethearts, the celeb stalker in me got a little excited. The suite was so stunning, I simply had to share my snaps with you all. Enjoy!

The Cedar Court Grand York

This suite had just one bed in it, but it was huge – and it was super king size! The sumptuous bedding made it look fit for royalty (quite right too!)

The biggest bathroom I had ever seen! This feature bath tub was at one end of it. The other had a wet room with duel shower heads and the whole room as adorned in Molton Brown products.

Sofa for two? I loved the plush silk corner sofa in the penthouse suite

The living area was so spacious with gorgeous decor and absolutely stunning views across York city centre.

The Terrace launch event was topped off with a celebratory glass of champagne (or three) and a delicious BBQ put on by the Grand head chefs. I had a burger and it was to die for!

    Look’s wonderful! I’ve never been to York, which I hear is lovely, and this looks like the perfect place to stay.

      Hi! Thanks for following my blog and for your comment 🙂 York is my home town – it’s so lovely and picturesque and the Cedar Court Grand is by far the best hotel in the city (the only 5* in all of Yorkshire!) You’ll have to let me know if you pay it a visit , Jess, The Travelista x

    We have undoubtably brilliant and similar tastes! We stayed here in 2010 when it just opened and LOVED it, the place is utter luxury! I’m actually going back tomorrow to take the best friend for a champagne afternoon tea, watch out for updates on twitter @rachelleblog

      Hey Rachelle! Glad you agree the Cedar Court Grand is absolutely gorg – we have lots in common! Are you in the York area then? How was your afternoon tea – would you recommend? I think that’s next on my list at the CCG. Have just followed you on Twitter 🙂 x

        I’m living in Newcastle at the moment but travelled to York for the day, its only an hour on the train. Champagne afternoon tea was gorgeous, pure luxury!

          Oh lovely! I went to Newcastle Uni and absolutely loved every min of it. Such an amazing city. Are you studying at the moment? Indeed, you’re just an hour away from ultimate luxury! 🙂 xx

Hello 2023! 🤍 A clean page, a fresh start. I h Hello 2023! 🤍 A clean page, a fresh start.

I had too many words about 2022 for a caption, so I’ve put them all into a blog post. 

My “2022 year in review” is live on The Travelista. It’s a longer, personal blog post about lessons, learnings, achievements and travels from year just gone, as well as my hopes and goals for 2023. I’ve put a link on stories for anyone interested. 😊

17 destinations across 9 countries. My son stepped foot in 3 new countries and I got to bring him on 6 trips with me, including his first cruise. Wow ♥️

I’m finding a new rhythm for travelling with (and sometimes without) a little one and can’t wait for what’s to come in 2023.

Whether you’re new here or you’ve followed my journey for years, thank you so much for being here, for every like, comment and share. It is this amazing, supportive and loyal community that has enabled me to quit my job this year and return to doing this full time again post Covid.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ♥️.
Before I sign off for a little Christmas social me Before I sign off for a little Christmas social media break, here’s a festive photo dump of the past week + sharing my favourite poem🕯🎄🥂

Featuring 

➕ A lunch to @bettys with the girls. Making a new tradition. 
➕ A family visit to @castle_howard for their spectacular #IntotheWoods Christmas experience. Phenomenal. We go every year and it just gets better and better.
➕ Carols by candlelight at our local church - magic - but so many layers because the heating was broken!
➕ Dust if you Must by Rose Milligan. The perfect tonic in the (potentially stressful) build up to Christmas. 

We are hosting family this year and I’m excited! I’d love my house to look like a festive show home but it doesn’t, and that’s ok. (I have a 4 year old making mess twice as fast as I can tidy it). 

Fellow hosts, don’t be so busy ‘dusting’ that you miss all the little moments of magic! I’m reminding myself of this too. Swipe to read the poem and you’ll get it. ♥️

Wishing you a perfectly imperfect Christmas 🎄 

Love Jess x

We are all feeling the pinch this year with the rising cost of living, so I set myself a challenge to find gifts for under £30. By shopping at outlets like Junction 32, which has over 80 brands offering up to 60% off the retail price, your money truly does go so much further. ♥️

What gifts I bought;

✔️ Slippers from @radleylondon RRP £40 J32 Price £20
✔️Himalayam charcoal gift set from @thebodyshop RRP £36.00 J32 Price £29.50
✔️Wax cheese wheels from independent retailer @themousehouse_lincoln £3 for £16
✔️Children’s cutlery set from @procookuk RRP £10 J32 Price £7

As usual J32 had some brilliant items on offer and a huge amount of choice, even this far into December.

Have you got any last minute Christmas shopping to do? I think I am finally done! 🛍
