Highlights

Bar Restaurant Television WiFi

Best Western Monkbar

Having undergone a £3,000,000 refurbishment this centrally-located designer hotel is looking better than ever and puts you in the perfect position for a pre-wedding weekend in one of the country's oldest party towns. It's a staggeringly easy walk across the Ouse to the buzzing nightlife of Micklegate while there's shops, bars, pubs and restaurants just minutes from the front door.

This uber-cool base of operations has everything you need to get the party started including free WiFi to avoid racking up the phone bill from hell and a 24hr reception to answer any burning questions you might have ("Isn't it rude to call a shopping street a Shambles?"). Luggage storage, room service, concierge; it's all here at your disposal as you wave goodbye to the groom's final days of single living.

And that's not all...

The hotel also has its own Yorkshire grill; that means the county's finest cuts of meat in the very same building. You'll be able to treat yourselves to a pre-club beer in the bar and there's a garden terrace to soak up the sun while you kick the evening off with a few party games.

The spacious bedrooms have a flat-screen TV and a modern design. You'll be able to enjoy cracking views over the city walls or the Yorkshire walled garden while there's even a hairdryer if the preen-a-donnas amongst you need to stag do their 'do'.

All of this comes at StagWeb's fantastic low rates that'll leave plenty in the kitty for even more Northern action including Quad biking and Blindfold Driving.
