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!
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!

Wow, that bed! Hopefully I win the lottery tonight and I can just move in…
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
Thanks Jess. Will do and I look forward to reading future posts. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
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!
