Whitby provides a range of hotel experiences, from whimsical boutique stays with historical views to elegant countryside retreats and well-located establishments with traditional charm.
1. La Rosa Hotel
Type: Boutique Hotel
Perched on Whitby’s West Cliff, this hotel offers a unique and romantic atmosphere. Staying here feels like stepping into a whimsical world with individually designed rooms, each boasting eclectic furnishings. The views of Whitby Abbey are particularly striking, creating a memorable backdrop to the stay.
2. Saltmoore
Type: Luxury Wellness Retreat
Nestled between the North York Moors and the sea, this luxurious retreat offers a tranquil escape. It features a calming spa and a choice of dining, providing a serene environment. Its location, slightly outside the immediate town centre, offers a different perspective of the area, ideal for those seeking relaxation.
3. The White Horse & Griffin
Type: Historic Hotel & Restaurant
Reflecting Whitby's rich history, this establishment offers beautifully decorated rooms that blend modern amenities with historical character. Located centrally, it provides a vibrant atmosphere, especially in its charming restaurant. I found it to be a place where one can connect with the town's past, having hosted notable figures like Charles Dickens and Captain Cook.
