## About Old Swan Hotel

Discover The Old Swan
Where timeless character becomes the backdrop to your next great story.

Step into The Old Swan, Harrogate’s most iconic Victorian retreat, where grand period features meet modern comforts in the heart of a historic spa town.

Famous for its glass-ceilinged Wedgwood Restaurant and the cosy Swan Lounge with views of the lawn, this elegant hotel has been inspiring stories for nearly 200 years and even played a part in Agatha Christie’s real-life mystery when she famously disappeared here in 1926.

With 136 characterful rooms from classic doubles to stylish suites, soak-worthy bathtubs and king-sized beds, every stay wraps you in a mix of heritage and comfort.

Ideally located just a short stroll from Harrogate’s town centre, the Turkish Baths, Bettys Tea Rooms, and RHS Harlow Carr, The Old Swan is the perfect base for both relaxing getaways and days full of discovery.

Dining at The Old Swan
Delicious moments in iconic surroundings
Food at The Old Swan is all about local flavour and seasonal ingredients in a relaxed setting. From hearty breakfasts and laid-back lunches to three-course dinners in the glass-roofed Wedgwood Restaurant, every meal feels a little special.

If you’re after a real treat, a Champagne afternoon tea in the lounge with homemade cakes, finger sandwiches, and fresh scones, it’s the perfect way to elevate your afternoon.

Every corner tells a story
This historic hotel has been at the heart of Harrogate for nearly 200 years, but it’s perhaps most famous for one of the greatest literary mysteries of all time. In 1926, Agatha Christie disappeared from her home and turned up 11 days later… right here at The Old Swan.

Whether you’re a Christie fan, a fiction lover, or simply curious about the past, there’s something magical about walking the same halls, sitting in the same lounges, and wondering what story you’ll be part of next.
