Hotel du Vin Harrogate

Opposite the open grassland of the Stray, Hotel du Vin Harrogate is eight Georgian townhouses knocked into one. Right in the centre of the old town, the hotel has 48 bedrooms and a collection of event spaces. The ground-floor Ruinart overlooks the walled courtyard, where alfresco events are an option, and can take up to 60 for dinner. The L-shaped Henley Vineyards is a smaller space with a warm atmosphere and can be sub-divided for smaller events. The trademark Bistro opens early for breakfast meetings. The kitchen moves nimbly through the day’s services, offering bar food throughout, afternoon tea and finally an anglo-French dinner menu.
