Lady Ann Middletons Hotel

Lady Anne Middleton's is a truly unique hotel. A collection of six historically listed buildings, which have been lovingly restored and sympathetically modernised providing a variety of styles throughout its 52 bedrooms.

Located in Skeldergate, the ancient Roman Waterfront, which now leads from the medieval city walls across the river to the centre of York. Lady Anne's nestles in a secluded English courtyard garden. Lady Anne Middleton's Hotel will delight you with its tranquillity yet close proximity to all of York's main attractions.

Walking in the grounds of the hotel, you are walking the ground trodden three centuries ago by the widows of the freemen of York. You are treading the path of the workers at the 19th century sawmill and the place where some of the finest organs were built for churches of York and beyond. You walk where Hans Hesse, director of York City Art Gallery would entertain his good friend Charlie Chaplin, one of the greatest laughter makers of all time.

Each building is steeped in local heritage and history and has its own story to tell. Skeldergate House was built in 1659 funded by an endowment given by Dame Anne Middleton, the wife of the then Sheriff of York, from whom the hotel takes its name. Originally built as a refuge for twenty widows of the freemen of the city of York. It was later rebuilt and extended in 1829 at the expense of the Corporation of York and then passed to the City of York Trustees before being rescued from near dereliction by the current owners in 1972, opening for business just six months later, in June 1973.
