The Fat Badger Hotel York

Nestled amidst the historic charm of York, the perfect adventure-seeker’s retreat awaits at our enchanting hotel. Picture this: after a day of exploring the cobbled streets and awe-inspiring York Minster, you return to a welcoming oasis, where the scent of a freshly poured welcome drink refreshes your senses. Whether you’re coming back from conquering the ancient walls or having traversed the vibrant Shambles, the promise of cozy evenings in our bar and lounge area calls you to unwind. Settle in with a drink and relish the stories that new friends share, all while planning your next York escapade — perhaps a round of golf at a nearby course, or indulging in the delectable children's menu for those traveling with family.

To make the most of your adventure, timing is everything. Ideally, visit during the spring when the city blooms in vibrant hues, the temperatures are mild, and the tourist crowds are manageable. After a day roaming through the local market or delving into the city’s fascinating Viking history, retreat to the comfort of your room, complete with a flat-screen TV and electric kettle to fuel up on hot drinks as night falls. The flexibility of in-room breakfast means you can refuel at your leisure, gearing up for another day of discovery. And if you're feeling ambitious, it’s not uncommon for guests to wake early, claiming a quiet spot near the window, sipping coffee as the world awakens outside.

As the sun sets and the lights begin to twinkle along the river, don’t forget to savor a meal at our hotel restaurant, where culinary delights await. With options catering to every palate, from hearty local fare to light snacks, each dish is crafted to provide comfort after a day filled with adventure. However, please be mindful, as our sanctuary remains pet-free and smoking-free to ensure a tranquil atmosphere for all. Come, escape the rush of the everyday, and let the spirit of adventure guide you through our welcoming doors — we promise you a stay that feels both exhilarating and restful, the perfect blend for an unforgettable journey into York.
