A five-star hotel, *pampering spa, dining hotspot and award-winning cookery school, The Grand, York reigns supreme as the cathedral city’s premier place to stay.

Originally built as the headquarters for the North Eastern Railway Company, the Edwardian proportions and high ceilings of this red-brick beauty make an impressive setting for the hotel’s British restaurant, cocktail bar, meeting rooms, subterranean spa, big bedrooms and sprawling suites. Some of The Grand’s Classic and Executive rooms are located in an adjacent, contemporary wing but are no less spacious and comfortable. But if you’re looking for a taste of old world charm with lots of extra features book a Heritage, Grand Heritage or Penthouse Suite. (Guests staying in suites enjoy a late check-out.)

Don’t miss the fine-dining Legacy restaurant’s elegant tasting menus with pairing wine flights and The 1906 Bar’s unforgettable choice of cocktails, wine, lager, fine Yorkshire ale and single malt as well as American whiskies.

The lucky winner will receive:

Two-night stay
An afternoon tea
Complimentary drink for two in the 1906 bar
