This characterful hotel boasts a variety of individually styled bedrooms, suites, apartments and private dining rooms. (Please see for more details). Weddings are hosted most weeks, along with conferences, training events, christenings and all other celebrations.
The York Pavilion Hotel has been privately owned and operated since 1988.
