The Mount Royale Hotel – near York Racecourse
117-119 The Mount, York YO24 1GU
The Mount Royale is very close to the racecourse and a short walk into the city centre. The rooms are traditional looking, and they also have ‘garden suites’. The hotel houses the well regarded ‘OXO’ restaurant.
I have visited the spa at The Mount Royale Hotel on a couple of occasions and remember being amazed by the extensive gardens and outdoor swimming pool the first time I visited. Absolutely perfect for a summer’s day, the outdoor pool is heated so no worries about it being too cold to use! The pool is open May till September. There is also a Scandinavian log cabin with sauna and steam room and outdoor heated hot tub which are all open all year round.

Middlethorpe Hall Hotel and Spa
Bishopthorpe Rd, York YO23 2GB
Middlethorpe Hall is a luxury country house hotel but it is in York itself – just two miles from the city centre and in an ideal location for the York Racecourse. The hotel was a filming set for Downton Abbey, and it is easy to see why. This is a perfect destination for fans who would like to feel part of that elegant Downton atmosphere! Built in 1699, it was once the home of the famous diarist, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.
The hotel has a spa that includes a swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. I have been to visit the spa recently and it’s a great extra but could do with some renovation. Don’t let that put you off though as it’s a beautiful hotel with gorgeous grounds and lots of comfortable public rooms like the one below where you can take (you guessed it) afternoon tea or just have a coffee and read the papers in peace.
