Best Bath Houses in Windmill Hill

"What: The clue is in the title with this one, which is very definitely grand. Housed within York’s only five-star hotel, Hudson's is a destination for occasion dining (unless you’re fabulously wealthy of course) on account of its opulent surrounds and pricey tasting menus. The five- and nine-course set menus change with the seasons and, like all fine dining restaurants worth their salt, make full use of locally-sourced and foraged ingredients presenting a collection of modern British dishes."

"York's only five-star hotel is well-named: it offers tip-top service, a good choice of eating options, a spa and a pool. The building's original Edwardian features have been splendidly retained while bedrooms are vast, crisp and uncluttered."
