Introduction

Lavish, luxurious and a place that guarantees great memories, Grantley Hall offers the ultimate stay, spa and dining experiences.

The hotel in Ripon, North Yorkshire, opened its doors after a multi-million-pound revamp in 2019 by businesswoman Valeria Sykes – who fell in love with the 17^th-century Palladian pile.

Part of Relais & Châteaux, an elite status which sits independent hotels on the pedestal they belong for their commitment to exceptional guest services, Grantley Hall is five-star in every way.

“We stand for excellence, for experience, for food and for some North Yorkshire charm, said general manager Andrew McPherson.

Located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, only 4 miles from Ripon and 10 miles from Harrogate, Grantley Hall is decadence at its finest and is a foodie destination in its own right – with plenty to please the palate.
