HOW TO GET HERE

We’re less than a 10 minute walk from york station. Turn left out of the main station building and follow the road round, heading towards York Minster. Cross Skeldergate bridge, turning right at Lendal and you’ll soon see The Ivy and Bettys. Turn left at the square onto Stonegate where you’ll find Kennedy’s Bar and The Fort.

If you must drive, there’s plenty of car parks nearby. Please note that York city centre is pedestrianised during the day so it will involve a brief walk.

THE ORIGINAL ART-INSPIRED HOSTEL

The Fort opened its doors in 2011 with a unique take on the boutique hotel experience. Inspired by our own travels, we wanted to create somewhere that was much more than a place to get your head down. Our design-led rooms are well-equipped for the modern traveller, with luxury bedding, free superfast WiFi, original artworks and 24/7 access. Outside, nobody is closer to York’s must-see sights and sounds. York Minster, Bettys, the city walls and the UK’s favourite shopping streets are all a hop, skip and jump away. By night, the party comes to you, as our on-site bars and social scene are the beating heart of the area, giving you plenty of opportunity to live like a local and meet your fellow residents.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Like you, we love to travel. We’re also deeply passionate about York. We make it our collective mission to help you to make the most out of your stay, in a way that is fun, never-too-much-trouble and in-tune with whats happening in York right now.
