The Vices, a luxury private house hotel in York which opened in February this year,

has been listed as one of the country’s 100 best places to stay in 2023 in the

Sunday Times.

It is the only York hotel to appear in The Times’ ‘Welcome to Britain’s best hotel’

guide, with an overall rating of 8 out of ten for its rooms and suites; food and drink;

and location. It was singled out as being ‘glamorous, intimate and beautifully

relaxed’.

Nestled in a modest residential area in Fulford of York, one of the guides describes

The Vices as ‘the location is unlikely, the concept extravagant, yet it’s hard to resist.

On a nondescript suburban York street, a Victorian red-brick former police station

has been transformed into a “private-house” hotel of flowing, art gallery-like spaces

and fabulous designer furniture.”

The Vices was created by Daniel Curro – a professional sommelier and hospitality

expert - and Moreno Carbone – who was responsible for the entire interior design

concept.

The intimate hotel concept includes three luxurious suites, each uniquely designed

around the theme of gender and exploration and features beautiful fixtures from

brands including Davide Groppi, Listone Giordano and Patricia Urquiola. And with art

by Camille Rose Garcia, Junko Mizuno, Alessandra Maria, Kathie Olivas and more.

An opulent Wine Library houses a brass frame adorned with over 200 bottles of

Italian wine, with some being only available in the UK at The Vices York, and there is

a stylish cocktail bar. In the 14-cover restaurant – Allium - guests can enjoy a six-

course tasting menu by local chef, Luke Sanderson.

Co-founder, Moreno Carbone, said: “This was a huge achievement for us, and to

make the list in our first year of opening, is something we’re exceptionally proud of. A private house hotel in York with only three suites, was a very new concept for the area. Our entire vision has centred around exploration and unique experiences, which felt bold. But to make the list has shown us that our vision has been noticed and appreciated, and we can’t wait to push these ideas even further.”

A programme of wine tasting events is scheduled for 2023, which will allow guests to relax in the opulent Wine Library and explore the wines of Italy. Bookings for all

events can be made via the website www.thevices.co.uk
