At No. 1 York, we know how precious family time is, and our character-filled townhouse right in the heart of York city centre makes the perfect base for a family getaway.
We’ve thought of all the little details for our youngest guests - from Yoto Players with story-filled cards in every room to a dedicated kids’ menu that keeps mealtimes fuss-free. And when it’s time for something sweet, our always-stocked, help-yourself Pantry is guaranteed to delight the whole family.
Designed for Curious Explorers
We believe the best family trips are the ones filled with imagination. That’s why our rooms come with playful touches like mini tipis for storytelling (in Large Guest Rooms and above), bedtime books, and a Yoto Player packed with audio adventures.
A Polaroid Camera
Little guests receive a Polaroid camera so they can snap their own memories around the city - from wandering medieval streets to discovering York Minster.
A Pantry Full of Treats
Our help-yourself Pantry is always stocked with little pick-me-ups, perfect after a day exploring.
Delicious Food for All Ages
At Pearly Cow restaurant, younger diners have their own Pearly Calves menu, so everyone can enjoy something delicious.
Trying to decide on a room? We’ve made it simple to find the perfect fit for your family. Whether you’re staying with a baby, toddler, or older children, our rooms and suites can be tailored to your family.

Alternatively, call our friendly team on 01904 644744 who will be able to book exactly the right rooms for your family's stay with us.
Our Guest Rooms are perfect for two adults and a cot. If you're planning to stay with us a few nights and would like a little extra space, our Large Guest Rooms, Bootham Suites and the Clifton Suite are a wonderful choice, offering more room to relax during your stay.
Our Large Guest Rooms, Bootham Suites and the Clifton Suite can accommodate an extra bed as well as a cot, giving families plenty of space to stretch out and settle in comfortably.

Many of our rooms can be reserved next to each other, and several can interconnect, perfect for families who want a little extra space while staying close together.
Our Clifton Suite can interconnect with a Guest Room, creating our most spacious family setup.
We also offer Bootham Suites that interconnect with Guest Rooms, along with a number of Guest Room to Guest Room combinations.
To arrange interconnecting rooms, please contact our friendly reservations team, who will be delighted to help.
You can now book multiple rooms online, making it easier than ever to organise a group family stay.
