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

      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 have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for introducing me to wild swimming. She lives here in the Lakes and is an all-seasons pro. At first I was intrigued by her new hobby but equally I thought she was totally mad.

With 8 wild swims under my belt now I’ve definitely grown in confidence and really crave the rush of endorphins it brings. It’s such a visceral experience that pushes your body and then rewards it. There are also so many mental health benefits to wild swimming too. 

Here are Naomi’s 6 top tips if you are a beginner and want to give wild swimming a try:

1. Make sure you have a safe entry and exit point
2. Be mindful of any currents or tides. Lakes are safest as they have neither. 
3. Never swim alone. Always go with someone else.
4. Wear swim booties to protect your feet from rough ground. 
5. Remember mindfulness - try to be present in the moment, noticing what you can hear, smell, see, feel. You can’t get closer to nature than this. 
6. Make sure you have a towel and warm, dry clothing to put on immediately after swimming. 

Would you ever try wild / cold water swimming? Or are you already converted? 💬

The penthouse currently sells at an eye watering $10,084 a night, which we absolutely did not pay. 

For full disclosure, this was not a PR / press stay. My friend booked a loft suite and the penthouse upgrade was a surprise as the lovely reception staff noticed it was her birthday during our stay. We did not mention our social media accounts or my blog so this stroke of luck was 100% organic! 

Before booking the Edition NYC we saw online that the hotel regularly upgrades its guests whenever possible. We were hopeful but never ever expected they’d upgrade us to the penthouse! 

Insider tip: the generous upgrades are definitely a reason to stay at The Edition when you’re next in NYC.

What’s your favourite part of the Penthouse? 🗽
