Yorkshire is a county that has many faces and all are equally appealing in their way. From its rolling Dales to the historic city and from rugged coast line to peaceful rivers, there is always something to see and do.
The three star Queens Hotel is situated on the banks of the River Ouse in the centre of York. After a busy day you can sit in the riverside lounge and relax. All rooms have excellent facilities and there is a lift in the hotel.
