The Cedar Court Grand York

The Penthouse Suite at The Grand Hotel York

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!

    • 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

  • Honestly is there anything better than a freshly bathed baby dressed all in white? 🛁🤍👼🏼 From this angelic face you’d have no idea that he has seriously tested me today by throwing approximately 98% of the food I’ve made him on the floor 🙃 How are you all doing? #StayHome #13monthscorrected
  • 🌿Maybe this was mother nature’s way of telling us to stop and think? 🌿. . Perhaps she’s trying to tell us all to slow down; to consume less, to pollute less, to put our health first, to be more present, to find new ways to be entertained, to appreciate loved ones, to know what it’s like to live without instant gratification. . We’re all so busy constantly chasing after the next thing that we think is going to bring us more happiness (that dreamy new bag, a new job, a new car?) but now all of that has been taken away from us, the one thing that everyone I know seems to be struggling with most (including me) is the lack of human contact. Laughing with a friend, a spontaneous chat to a nice stranger, seeing your kids play with others. We are missing these social elements of our day, and it’s hard. So hard. But when we get our humans back, we will appreciate them much more than the flat whites and the freedom. What do you think? . Just a few philosophical musings that I had on FaceTime this weekend after 3 glasses wine 🥴🤣 Trying to find some light in this dark situation 💕 (Shot by @korm87 back in Feb) #socialdistancing
  • No groundbreaking updates from me today. Just this video of Theo finding pure joy in a spinning bowl 🤣💕 Watch if you’re in need of a little lockdown laughter #StayHome
  • Today we built a soft play area in our living room which entertained Theo for ohh...a good 4 minutes 🤣. . It wasn’t the Mother’s Day we had planned but it was spent with my two favourite boys which is the most important bit. We are all healthy and right now that is all I can ask for. Being Theo’s mummy is the hardest but most rewarding job I’ve ever had 💗. Tonight we’re supporting a local business and ordering food from my favourite Turkish restaurant. What are you getting up to (at home)? . Please please all do your bit and follow the guidelines of social-distancing and self isolation. It’s incredibly frustrating to see people ignoring the advice when families like us are cancelling plans with loved ones and trying to entertain an almost toddler at home all day (NOT easy). The sooner we all stay at home the sooner this can all be over and the more lives will be saved. It’s pretty simple 🙏🏼. . Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mamas out there both on earth and in heaven 💕 Our amazing playmat was gifted from @munchkinandbearuk
  • What a testing week its been for the world. I hope you’re all staying safe and doing OK. I’m managing my anxiety a lot better this week by just trying to live in the moment and taking one day at a time. I’m not thinking past the next 24 hours. . I’m spending a lot less time on my phone, practising gratitude, exercising daily and avoiding unhelpful content and generally just focusing on Theo (bye bye childcare). I did however tune into @thenestingcoach IG live last night, which really resonated with me so thought I’d pass it on. . The message was this; over the next few months our worlds are going to become smaller and it may feel as if we are living in a bubble. But here’s the positive; we are in control of what we let in to that bubble. Do not let anything into that bubble that may bring it down e.g. anxiety-inducing platforms, negative influences. Make it a safe and happy place and remember this will NOT last forever. It’s an unprecedented in our lifetimes, but it is all temporary. Protect your bubble. Thank you so much Stacy for sharing this message! You can still view the live on her page. . Let’s just be kind to each other and help each other wherever we can. Look out for your neighbours. Call your grandparents. Hug your kids. DON’T bulk buy. We are all in this together. We can do this! I would usually say 'have a good weekend’ but I think ‘good luck’ is more appropriate. Now time for a glass of red! 🙃❤️🍷 Photo by @korm87
  • Hey guys. Time for some honesty. I decided to spend the weekend without going on any social media or news apps. I have been following the #coronavirus situation avidly and pretty much over dosed on news articles and unhelpful video content. . My anxiety peaked last week and I ended up in tears at the thought of my weekend plans. I was meant to be in Manchester for a 30th birthday weekend but I pulled out as the thought of going amidst the virus outbreak was way too much. I know this will sounds crazy to some, and sensible to others. . I am mostly anxious because I feel Theo is vulnerable given his prematurity. I’m sure other parents and especially #nicuparents will feel the same about their kids. I keep thinking of all the poor parents and tiny babies in NICUs across the world right now. As if they weren’t already dealing with enough. . We all need to stay informed and educated about the situation but I think there is so much unhelpful and unnecessary content online that can really fuel anxiety. It’s making it all feel like we’re in an episode of Black Mirror. . I really hope this post doesn’t make anyone feel worse or more worried. That is not my intention. Everything will be ok. But if you are feeling anxious, just know that you are not alone. I wanted to share that stepping away from social media and the news for a little while has actually really helped me. We’ve got to protect our mental health. . Curate your feeds to lift you up not bring you down. Watching @megan_rose_lane’s latest IGTV about anxiety really helped me and if you feel a similar way then definitely go and check it out. Hope everyone is OK during this weird and uncertain time 💕🌸. . Photo taken this weekend of the lovely pale Cherry blossom at the end of my road 🏡
