York Hotel is a classic 4-star retreat nestled on Mount Elizabeth—with spacious rooms, family-friendly cabanas, a serene outdoor pool, and the popular White Rose Café serving Asian and Western favourites. It’s an ideal choice for business travellers, families, and shopping enthusiasts seeking comfort and convenience in the heart of Singapore.
York Hotel first opened in 1971 as Hotel Summit and quickly became known for its innovative “slipform” construction method—building one floor per day. After becoming part of the Goodwood Group in 1978, it was renamed York Hotel. Today, it stands as a deluxe four-star property offering 407 rooms, including cabins styled like Balinese-inspired cabanas and an exclusive non-smoking tower block.
Ideally located on Mount Elizabeth, York Hotel places you within walking distance of Orchard Road’s famous shopping belt, as well as medical institutions like Mount Elizabeth Hospital and Paragon Medical Centre.
York Hotel boasts a diverse range of guestroom options designed for comfort and flexibility. Its spacious offerings include Superior, Deluxe, Deluxe Family, Premier, Cabana Family, Cabana Loft (with direct pool access), and Deluxe Suites—many larger than standard Orchard-area rooms. The Deluxe Room alone spans 37 to 46 sqm and features essentials like Wi-Fi, minibar, flat-screen TV, safe, bathrobes, and a work desk.
Guests can dine at the White Rose Café, known for its eclectic mix of Western and Asian dishes and special Penang Hawkers’ Fare events. For casual meetups, the Coffee Bar serves gourmet blends and light bites in a chic setting. In-room dining is available 24/7, offering an extensive menu of local and Western favourites.
The hotel supports both leisure and business needs with its outdoor pool—complete with sun loungers and alfresco snack options—and a well-equipped fitness centre. There are also eight meeting and event spaces, along with a business centre and banquet facilities.
While not heritage-rooted, York Hotel has kept its spaces feeling current. In 2017, portions of the annex block underwent a S$1 million soft refurbishment, introducing pastel wall coverings, warm flooring, and LED lighting to modernize nearly 91 rooms and lifts.
Guests consistently appreciate York Hotel for its generous room sizes, cleanliness, and caring service.
