GUY FAWKES INN, York – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Historic York Inn
The Guy Fawkes Inn is a medieval inn in York, standing in the shadow of York Minster. It retains original features like gas lighting, real log fires, and a timber staircase. The small bar, snug, and dining room have stained-wood floors, bitter-chocolate walls, and well-worn tables. Thirteen four-star en-suite bedrooms include cast-iron or four-poster beds with dark-wood floors and Farrow & Ball Georgian colors.
AA Rosette Dining
The AA Rosette kitchen serves classic pub food with locally sourced ingredients. Dishes include roast lamb rump with Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, roast cod loin with Picpoul de Pinet, and appetizers paired with Taittinger. The Sunday roast features homemade Yorkshire puddings, roast beef, chicken, and seasonal vegetables. The Conspirator's Menu offers options like tomato soup, mushroom parfait, and beer-battered haddock.
Wine and Ales
The bar stocks a range of real ales served from barrels. The wine list includes Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, Chardonnay from Australia, and Sancerre from France. The team helps guests choose wines like Rioja Blanco or Gavi to match their meals. The soft, fruity Merlot is easy to drink.
Central York Location
