The Refinery Suite - Appartement élégant à York dans un bâtiment historique

Summary:

The Refinery Suite is a beautifully presented first-floor one-bedroom apartment located within The Cocoa Suites, set in the heart of York inside one of the city’s most historic industrial buildings. Originally built in the 1860s as a flour mill and later transformed by chocolatier Joseph Rowntree into a navigation warehouse, this characterful riverside building has now been thoughtfully converted into stylish modern apartments.



The Space:

Inside, the apartment is spacious and well laid out, featuring a separate bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed and generous wardrobe space. The modern private bathroom, bright living room, dedicated dining area, and fully equipped kitchen make the property ideal for both short and extended stays. Amenities include a washing machine, contemporary appliances, tea and coffee facilities, soundproofing, and a Smart TV for relaxed evenings.



Fresh bed linen and towels are provided, and the non-smoking apartment is maintained to a high standard, with guests frequently praising its cleanliness and comfort.



Combining historic character with modern living, Number 62A at The Cocoa Suites offers a unique and comfortable base for discovering York, with spacious interiors, secure parking, and an exceptional central location.



Guest Access:

Accessible by lift or stairs, the apartment offers easy arrival with express check-in and check-out and includes free private parking in a secure on-site car park. Guests can enjoy peaceful river views and an attractive inner courtyard setting, creating a calm retreat despite the central location. A communal terrace and garden area provide additional outdoor space, while free high-speed WiFi and central heating ensure comfort throughout the year. The building also benefits from lift access and an electric vehicle charging station.



The Neighborhood:

Perfectly positioned for exploring the city, the apartment is just a short 5–10 minute walk from York Minster, the Shambles and its market, Clifford’s Tower, The Castle Museum, the City Walls, The Grand Opera House, and the excellent restaurants of Fossgate and Walmgate.



Getting Around:

With Leeds Bradford International Airport approximately 50 km away and major attractions within easy walking distance, a car is not essential — however, if you do choose to drive, a designated secure parking space is available for your use.
