The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate

Traditional elegance, English ambience, sophisticated comfort and attention to detail are the qualities that are ever evident at the Old Swan Hotel.

The hotel is set within five acres of beautiful gardens at both the front and to the rear; dating back to 1840 and most famous for the 'disappearance' of Agatha Christie in 1926, the hotel retains the air of cool sophistication and style.

The hotel, which has recently completed a £6m refurbishment programme has 136 luxuriously decorated bedrooms, seven meeting & banqueting suites and free car parking for 175 cars. It sits in the centre of the spa town of Harrogate, nestling just off the beautiful Valley Gardens and the cosmopolitan chic of the Montpellier Quarter.

Harrogate has an abundance to offer its visitors; from Betty's tea rooms, designer shops, lively wine bars, theatre, the recently completed Royal Hall, the Harrogate International Centre and the Turkish Baths to the beautiful Stray which surrounds the town.

The customer care that is at the core of our business ethos, along with the comfort, quality and value that are our standards are sure to make your stay at The Old Swan Hotel one which you will remember.

"Firstly, may we say a huge thank you for organising our wedding day. We had a fantastic day and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and commented on how lovely the food was, how polite the staff were and what a beautiful hotel the Old Swan is." - Angela & Russell Moriarty who had their wedding at The Old Swan Hotel on July 12th 2008.

Just a short note to express our sincere thanks to you and to all of the staff at The Old Swan Hotel that worked to make the day so very special for Neil & Claire and indeed for all of us. The arrangements in the hotel were first class and the whole event went exactly to plan. It was truly a day to remember. Everybody that we spoke to in the course of the wedding reception and the following day was appreciative of the excellent meal and the 'extra mile' to which you and your staff obviously went. Tony & Val Morris - August 2008

As mentioned to you during the evening it was a very welcomed treat at the end of a really arduous month and very much appreciated.You have a good product and we will certainly consider your property when we have requests for Harrogate." - Carolyn Spencer, Operations Director, First Event.
