Good Hotel Guide Review

The three Guest brothers made their first bold foray into hospitality with this boutique hotel and spa occupying three Grade I listed town houses on a splendid Georgian terrace. All but the small attic bedrooms are dog-friendly, and all have an espresso machine, a turntable to spin some vinyl, 100 Acres toiletries, access to a pantry of treats. Touches of whimsy include a ceiling with exotic bird wallpaper inspired by the pergola in Henrietta Park opposite; a coffee-maker in a doll’s house. Large rooms in the coach house have a lounge area, a working fireplace, stand-alone bath and rain shower. The basement spa has a circular copper bath for two. Adventurous menus feature dishes such as thin tart of leeks, wild garlic, smoked new potatoes, romesco sauce; beef medallion, beef cheek and bacon tart, nettle purée, hand-cut chips. Breakfast is similarly inventive (avocado on sourdough, spiced tomato compote, poached egg; wild mushrooms on toast, as well as the usual suspects). Children are indulged, with Sally Lunn buns for elevenses and picnics for the park. A new sister hotel, No. 1 York, has opened in York, and another is planned in Brighton.
