Set in 38 acres of landscaped gardens Grantley Hall combines 17th century grandeur with 21st century sophistication. Having opened its doors in 2019 for the very first time, the hotel has since won a host of accolades and awards, including being named 5th from Top 50 Boutique Hotels in the UK and awarded the Two MICHELIN Key Distinction in 2024.

The Main Hall dates back to the 17th century and is Grade II* listed, boasting many original features such as oak panelling, marble fireplaces and ornate cornicework - all fully restored during the building's four year renovation period prior to opening. The original building was extended to include the new Fountains Wing which houses an additional 26 bedrooms, extensive spa and wellness facilities and wine cellar. The stand alone Garden Pavilion brings city center chic to the Yorkshire countryside and houses a split level pan-Asian bar and restaurant, subterranean Champagne bar and the hotel's principal function suite.

Grantley Hall is a food lover's delight - using only the very best, locally sourced, ingredients guests will be spoilt for choice during their stay. choose from modern British cuisine in Fletchers Restaurant, tantalising pan-Asian in Bar & Restaurant EightyEight or a 10 course tasting menu in Michelin starred Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall. Guests can enjoy a range of outdoor dining spaces during summer months including the Norton Courtyard offering all day dining and drinking as the River Skell flows past and The Orchard offers a relaxing, covered area with views of the West Lawn for light summer bites. In winter, this space transforms to become reminiscent of an alpine ski lodge offering a range of hot warming beverages and delicious winter dishes - we call it Après at the Orchard. Quintessential English Afternoon Tea is served daily in the Drawing Room.

The multi award winning Three Graces Spa boasts an 18 meter indoor swimming pool, a separate indoor to outdoor hydrotherapy pool and a range of thermal facilities including the Nordic Spa Garden, an outdoor spa experience featuring Brass Monkey ice baths and an outdoor sauna.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $200 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
