Situated in the heart of the historic city of York, The Grand is an elegant 5-star hotel, with award-winning dining, a cookery school and a brand new spa.
The all-new facilities include a Tirol hot sauna, Himalayan salt sauna, a Salt and Light Therapy room, herbal steam room, herbal lounge, a state-of-the-art large hydrotherapy pool, foot spas, a relaxation room and more.
SubRosa offers a secluded and serene space for all, uniquely built into the heart of the hotel’s vaults.

Spa Director at The Grand, Emma Sorby, says, “After a six-month refurbishment, we are delighted to now be open.
SubRosa doesn’t just offer spa treatments; it delivers thoughtfully curated wellness experiences for each guest, across mind and body, blending globally respected traditions with scientifically advanced products.
We can’t wait for guests from near and far to come to relax away from the pressures of everyday life.”
