Choosing hotels in Yorkshire usually means you're opting for a more traditional and formal type of accommodation, with standard facilities and guaranteed service. There is much variation between hotels in terms of type, size, location, price and function.

Some Harrogate hotels may be run by groups and offer the same standard of service and the same facilities across the hotel group. Other accommodation may be privately run like hotels in Whitby, with more personal service and perhaps a little more historic Yorkshire character. Before booking your hotel, think about your needs?
York hotels provide the ideal location for a romantic hotel break for two with extensive leisure facilities and intimate restaurant dining, a business hotel venue with excellent conference facilities, a hotel with lively -in-house entertainment, a countryside hotel with beautiful grounds for wedding photos or hotels in Leeds close to theatres and museums - just a few possible variations.
Hotels in York are everywhere! The city of York is such a popular destination that York hotels seem to be on every street corner. The good news is that with such variety and choice there comes great competition for price, with many cheap York hotels available at very reasonable rates and plenty below £30 per person B&B. This compares favourably to other prime northern cultural historic cities: see Chester hotels and Edinburgh hotels.
Luxury York Hotels offer a wonderful experience and still provide great value with many rooms less than £100 per night. This contrasts sharply with the prices you would expect to stay in historic cities in the south: see Bath hotels and Canterbury hotels.
If you are on a budget in York you can consider a York Bed and Breakfast instead of a hotel. They offer great value for money and with so many places to eat in York and the ease of getting around the city on foot there are plenty of alternatives for dining.
Not so long ago Leeds was a major player in the Industrial Revolution, receiving city status in only 1893. Now it is famous not only for its educational institutes, most notably the University of Leeds, but also for being a major UK financial centre. Of course, much of what happens in any city will affect the type of accommodation to be found there: Leeds hotels with conference facilities for business travellers, hotel accommodation near the university of Leeds for perhaps parents visiting their siblings, and more.
You can find a whole range of different hotels in Leeds, from Victorian to modernist contemporary accommodation. Most Leeds hotels provide bed and breakfast accommodation, although often this depends upon the hotel's price range, for instance whether you require a cheap, budget or luxury hotel in Leeds. However, those with a keen eye for a budget hotel could easily search for late deals and bargains, since Leeds is crammed full of hotels competing with each other. You can even find Leeds hotels near most of the city's attractions, for instance Leeds Art Gallery, the West Yorkshire Playhouse, or the Royal Armouries.
You will find that hotel accommodation in other towns and cities in Yorkshire share some similarities with Leeds, particularly the Victorian-style architecture, such as Harrogate hotels, Whitby hotels, and hotels in York.
Harrogate is ideal for a peaceful holiday in a traditional Yorkshire town. Famous as a spa town, a favourite retreat for wealthy Victorians, and also the place to which Agatha Christie 'escaped' during her 'disappearance', this place offers an amazing selection of Harrogate hotels.
Harrogate has all manner of possible hotels, from cheap and budget to 3/4/5 star luxury accommodation. As with those in Leeds, most hotels in Harrogate offer bed and breakfast options, many with full English breakfast, buffet and Continental options. However, this will depend on the hotel you choose. Many low cost hotels, for instance cheap to budget, may not provide breakfast with the accommodation fee. But you can more or less guarantee breakfast with hotels in the 3/4 star or luxury price ranges. If you do require bed and breakfast at a hotel in Harrogate, though, it is advisable to check before you book.
Harrogate is one of the finer towns in the Yorkshire Dales, but if you're looking elsewhere in Yorkshire for accommodation, then maybe you could try a hotel in Leeds or, if you prefer coastal holidays, try one of the hotels in Whitby.
Whitby is an old place. It dates from the early medieval period, around the 7th century, and now thrives as one of Yorkshire's most visited coastal towns. Because of the tourism, many Whitby hotels have sprung up all over the town. They provide accommodation at different price ranges, from cheap budget hotels to 5 star luxury hotels.
Most of the hotels at higher price ranges provide bed and breakfast options: full English, buffet, Continental. Furthermore, because Whitby is a well-renowned fishing port, you can find lots of delicious, locally caught fish food in many of the whitby hotel restaurants. This is a little similar to the hotels in Scarborough that, because of their coastal locations, also serve seafood in their restaurants.
Whitby hotels are also great for seeing many of the cultural relics, scenes and attractions. For instance, Whitby is famous for Britain's most famous maritime explorer, Captain James Cook; and also for its influence on Bram Stoker's famous novel, Dracula. Other famous places include Whitby Abbey, and St Mary's Church.
This North Yorkshire coastal town is a mixture of modern and old, encompassing elements from many different periods of history. Despite this, Scarborough is most noted as a seaside resort, with its own pedestrian-friendly promenade, bay, harbour, and even an 11th century castle: Scarborough Castle.
There are lots of different hotels in Scarborough to choose from. For those on a budget, you can find cheap, low-cost Scarborough hotels without the frills of a luxury hotel. Some of them come with bed and breakfast options, but of course this depends on the price range of hotel you wish to stay in. Some of the hotels in Scarborough overlook the North or South Bays, or have rooms that provide beautiful views of the sea. Others are located close to the Spa Conference Centre, and other amenities.
If you look in our iknow-Yorkshire hotel listings, we are host to some of Scarborough's most famous hotels, including The Grand Hotel and The Crown Spa Hotel, which was the first purpose-built hotel in Scarborough.
For more Yorkshire coastal town accommodation, you can look to hotels in Whitby, or hotels in Bridlington.
Small Yorkshire hotels will range in size up to 20 rooms. Smaller hotels have more of a guesthouse feel, where you're assured a little extra attention, but with all standard amenities you'd expect from hotel service, including in-house bar and restaurant service . Most are family run and privately owned, with a more relaxed atmosphere than a large hotel.
