The Yorkshire Hotel is a Victorian building, which fortunately, instead of being demolished, was imaginatively converted to an alternative use, eventually to emerge as a thoroughly contemporary hotel. The elegance of the original features have been retained, though it provides all the facilities that you would expect to find. The transformation also included the opening of the stylish HG1 Brasserie and Bar, a very popular venue, not only for the guests but also for the locals.

HG1 is a contemporary brasserie style bar that provides a useful addition to the Harrogate restaurant scene. The glory of yesteryear's art-deco period is highlighted in the décor and ambience of the place, while, in contrast, the modern lighting is bright with conical shaped fixtures.

The brasserie provides an extensive choice of both regional and international dishes, while, in the bar, there is a range of options running from light bites to more substantial fare. The brasserie is open for lunch and dinner from Sunday to Friday with both table d'hote and a la carte menus on offer; there is also a wide selection of wines and beers available to complement your meal.

The hotel is an ideal spot to hold either your business meeting or to enjoy a relaxed city break and visit attractions such as the Harrogate Spa, the Turkish Baths and Health Spa, the Royal Pump Room Museum, and the Yorkshire Dales, including Nidderdale, an outstanding area of natural beauty. Harrogate is easily reached by either train or plane.
