An historic 11-story hotel, the Yorktowne is located in downtown York, one block from the city center square. The hotel is maintained with the flavor of hotels of the 1920s, when the Yorktowne was originally opened. The hotel''s guest registry includes Ella Fitzgerald, Richard Nixon, Frank Sinatra, and Margaret Thatcher. As the most elegant hotel in the city, many performers to the nearby Strand Capitol for Performing Arts are hosted by the Yorktowne during their stay in the area.
Rooms and suites are nicely appointed with period furniture. Comfy king size beds come with a surplus of 6 pillows for slumbering enjoyment. Since the hotel is the tallest building downtown, many rooms have excellent views of the Courthouse domes or Reservoir Hill.
The lobby retains its original elegance and leads toward the Commonwealth Room, a four-diamond restaurant with excellent Sunday brunches.
Situated downtown the hotel makes a perfect weekend base for taking in dinner and drinks on a Friday night, and the Central Market and Rail Trail on Saturday.
