Welcome to GuestHouse - an independent British hospitality group created by three brothers, Tristan, James and Tom Guest, who together have a love of creating one-off, wonder-filled hotels.
Home to relaxing suites and bedrooms, heavenly spas, and never-tried-that-before dishes, our hotels have a few things in common (like our legendary pantries that your clients can help themselves to!), but always guarantee their own unique charm varied by the cities they're a part of. We have properties in Bath, York, Margate and in summer 2024, Brighton.
Read on to learn about booking No.1 York for your international clients...
Our GuestHouse in York is a show-stopping-stunner, a short 10 minute stroll from York station and within sight of the Minster. Captivatingly designed, it's a unique way to experience the Harry-Potter-esque charm of York.
No.1 is the impressive roof under which sits 38 gorgeous rooms and suites. We're home to the Northern-most outpost of 'Pearly Cow', our fabulous fire & ice concept restaurant and event spaces, along with the Rhubarb Bar and Marmalade Lounge. Further down still, you'll find the quiet retreat of our Spa at No.1, with soothing treatment rooms. Come on in...
You can book and claim your commission directly through our website. Select 'book now', and when browsing dates, select 'special codes or rates' and enter your IATA number in the Agent ID field.
If you prefer to book through the GDS, here are our lucky numbers!

We're the antidote to upscale. Properly boutique hotels with properly personal service. Beautifully designed interiors, the finest quality food & drinks and the feeling of finding a special gem-of-a-place all are good reasons to check in. Here are a few more...

We have five different types of rooms for you to choose from, going from cosy to lofty. Many have fireplaces, lots have leafy views and the two Bootham Suites occupy what used to be a grand drawing room and a luxurious library.
In all of them, you’ll find locally sourced antiques, art and curios that tell York’s stories in the most charming of ways. And just a little down the hall from all of them, you’ll find a Pantry full of complimentary treats for the taking.
For international guests, we recommend starting with our Guest Rooms, ranging up to our signature Clifton Suite.

From the cobbled streets to the winky-wonky shops, York is always on the agenda. Just two short hours by train from London and well-connected to just about everywhere else, York is an easily-reachable historic gem, with real personality and twinkle in its eye!
Here are a few of our favourite local spots for your clients to experience - naturally, we're on hand to provide tips and make arrangements.
