Tapestry Collection by Hilton Debuts in York
Hilton (NYSE: HLT) has today announced the opening
of Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, marking the
brand’s debut in the city.
Signed as part of a franchise agreement with Cairn
Hotel Group, the 62-room hotel overlooks the picturesque Knavesmire Strays. It
features Leetham’s Brasserie, a restaurant serving seasonal British cuisine,
Peacock Bar, an opulent space featuring original fireplaces and jewel-adorned
walls, and convenient onsite parking.
The hotel joins a portfolio of over 120 Tapestry
Collection by Hilton hotels, each with a unique and vibrant personality shaped
by elevated design and locally inspired food and beverage, offering guests
authentic experiences in diverse destinations. With a strong pipeline of more
than 100 properties, the opening continues Tapestry’s expansion in high
barrier-to-entry markets in Europe, where small boutique properties are looking
for an engine to help them grow.
Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president,
development, EMEA, Hilton, said, “We are seeing growing demand for our
lifestyle brands in the UK, as travellers increasingly seek out distinctive,
locally inspired stays. The opening of Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection by
Hilton underscores our commitment to providing truly unique, authentic
experiences for guests, and we look forward to working closely with Cairn Hotel
Group to bring this vision to life.”
Located on The Mount, a charming residential area
only a short walk away from York’s historic city centre and train station, the
hotel offers convenient access to several world-famous attractions, including
York Racecourse, National Trust properties such as Goddards Garden and
Treasurer’s House, York Castle Museum, and The Shambles, one of Europe’s
best-preserved medieval shopping streets.
The city’s rich heritage extends to the hotel
itself - a unique 19th-century mansion that was once home to the city’s elite
and a venue for York’s most lavish parties. The Elmbank celebrates its
Yorkshire roots through its thoughtfully designed and styled rooms, artwork,
and signature details. Housed inside Elmbank’s main house is one of the UK’s
finest Art Nouveau collections, featuring stunning stained glass, beautiful
murals, and detailed stencils, carefully preserved to allow guests to immerse
themselves in Art Nouveau history, whilst enjoying modern comforts and
amenities.
Aneil Handa, director, Cairn Group, said, “We are
thrilled to launch the first Tapestry Collection property in the North of
England, continuing our longstanding relationship with Hilton. The Elmbank
Hotel’s rich history and exceptional Art Nouveau collection offer a distinctive
experience that aligns perfectly with the Tapestry brand, providing guests with
a unique blend of local charm and high standards of service.”
Guests of all Hilton properties can benefit from
the award-winning Hilton Honors guest loyalty programme, allowing
members who book directly with Hilton to earn Points for hotel stays and
experiences. Hilton Honors members can also unlock access to instant rewards
and benefits, such as contactless check-in with room selection and exclusive
member discounts.
