Historic inn next to York Minster, birthplace of Guy Fawkes
Location & History
Guy Fawkes Inn stands next to York Minster, a major historical landmark, and was the birthplace of the notorious plotter Guido Fawkes. The building retains original gas lighting, real log fires, and a timber staircase that date back centuries. Free guided tours of York are available for hotel guests, and the York Ghost Walk Experience departs from York Minster each Saturday at 19:00.
Rooms & Suites
Each of the thirteen en-suite bedrooms has been individually decorated with antique features and offers flat-screen TVs and complimentary toiletries. Many rooms enjoy a landmark view of York Minster, and some include four-poster beds with quirky, historic character. The suites feature low beams, sloping floors, and heavy velvet curtains that reflect the building's 500-year heritage.
Dining & Bar
The AA Rosette kitchen serves a la carte dining from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, with dishes such as steak and ale pie and Sunday roast with traditional accompaniments. Guests can dine by candlelight in the restaurant or at the outdoor area with heaters for year-round use. The bar stocks a selection of real ales and offers a cozy atmosphere distinct from typical hotel bars, along with wine and champagne.
Amenities & Services
The hotel provides 24-hour front desk service, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the premises. A daily housekeeping service is offered, and key card access, smoke alarms, and CCTV in common areas ensure guest security. The property also features a terrace, garden, and outdoor furniture, plus an ATM/cash machine on site.
Nearby Attractions
York Theatre Royal and the National Railway Museum are both a 5-minute walk from the inn. The Jorvik Viking Centre and York's Chocolate Story are also easily accessible, with Castle Howard located a short drive away. The hotel's position adjacent to York Minster places guests directly on the York City Walls walking route.
