The Old Swan Hotel

Step into The Old Swan, Harrogate’s most iconic Victorian retreat, where grand period features meet modern comforts in the heart of a historic spa town.

Famous for its glass-ceilinged Wedgwood Restaurant and the cosy Swan Lounge with views of the lawn, this elegant hotel has been inspiring stories for nearly 200 years and even played a part in Agatha Christie’s real-life mystery when she famously disappeared here in 1926.

With 136 characterful rooms from classic doubles to stylish suites, soak-worthy bathtubs and king-sized beds, every stay wraps you in a mix of heritage and comfort.

No two rooms at The Old Swan are quite the same and that’s part of the charm. From comfy classics to spacious suites with soak-worthy bathtubs and character in every corner, each one blends period features with modern comfort.

You’ll find a room that fits your story when you visit for work, rest, or something in between. Some feature peaceful garden views, and others are tucked away in quiet corners made for unwinding after a day in town.

Ideally located just a short stroll from Harrogate’s town centre, the Turkish Baths, Bettys Tea Rooms, and RHS Harlow Carr, The Old Swan is the perfect base for both relaxing getaways and days full of discovery.

Food at The Old Swan is all about local flavour and seasonal ingredients in a relaxed setting. From hearty breakfasts and laid-back lunches to three-course dinners in the glass-roofed Wedgwood Restaurant, every meal feels a little special.

Located just a short walk from the Harrogate International Centre and the town centre, The Old Swan Hotel is a standout choice for meetings, conferences and corporate events. Surrounded by peaceful gardens and historic charm, it’s ideal for both focus and relaxation.
