'Whether customers are visiting our hotel for a weekend away, an awards dinner, or a short meeting, we make an everyday, conscious effort to deliver ultimate service to drive an extraordinary experience.'

Built as a Palace of Business in 1906 for one of the most powerful railway companies in Edwardian England, North Eastern Railway, no expense was spared in the pursuit of luxury, which is why The Grand Hotel & Spa, now boasts some of the finest meeting rooms in York. The Historic Grand Boardroom is The Grand’s flagship space and offers a perfect setting for up to 120 guests.

The magnificent Grand Boardroom and adjoining Chairman’s Suite offer splendid settings for meetings, with fabulous views of York Minster and the City Wall as a backdrop. Delegates have the aid of The Conference and Events Team to ensure that all details, no matter how small or large, are met and managed as required.
