The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate

The Old Swan is one of the most famous hotels in Harrogate, Yorkshire, with a history going back nearly 200 years. Surrounded by picturesque lawns and gardens, and just a short walk from the town centre and the Harrogate International Centre, it combines Victorian splendour with contemporary luxury.

From its revolving doors to its famous glass-ceilinged Wedgwood Restaurant, The Old Swan Hotel Harrogate exudes romance and mystery. It was to this tranquil haven that the mistress of crime-writing, Agatha Christie, famously disappeared in 1926, resulting in a public furore over the 11 days that she could not be traced.

Guests can now enjoy 136 contemporary-styled bedrooms including singles, twins, doubles, executive upgrades, suites, Four Poster Suites and Four Poster rooms, all with stylish en-suite bathrooms, and some featuring free-standing baths.

The Wedgwood Restaurant or more intimate Library serve menus featuring fresh, local ingredients, and afternoon tea is served in front of a log fire in the Swan Lounge and Bar.

With 7 reception rooms, parking for up to 175 cars, and facilities for Harrogate conferences, weddings or private parties for up to 300 people, the Old Swan is the perfect location for events of all sizes.

And on our doorstep, the elegant Spa town of Harrogate and all the beauty of Yorkshire Dales to explore with special packages for family visits to Newby Hall and Lightwater Valley.

We look forward to seeing you here soon.
