Lower Briggate is the sweet spot of the city—close enough to the train station that you can hear the announcements, but far enough from the rowdy clubs that you don’t need earplugs. You can roll out of bed, grab a flat white from a nearby independent café, and watch the city wake up.
It’s perfect for that moment when you’re visiting friends and don’t want to crash on their lumpy sofa. You can say, “Meet me at the hotel bar,” and sound impossibly sophisticated. The bar itself feels like a secret nook you’d discover in a back alley, all warm lighting and local gins.
Why You Should Care (Even If You’re a “Just Need a Pillow” Traveler)
Even if you are the kind of person who only uses a hotel for sleeping, this one makes the in-between moments count. The bathroom has toiletries that smell like a proper spa, not like a cleaning product. You’ll actually look forward to washing your hands.
And the bed? Let’s just say it has the kind of pillows that make you want to hug them goodbye in the morning. I once convinced my partner to delay our checkout by an hour just to lie on the mattress and watch the sun creep across the brickwork outside the window.
