SubRosa at The Grand, York

Secretive, shadowed, and calming, its brilliance lies in the contrast between what’s beneath and what’s above. This is a place of transformation, where you descend to disconnect and rise renewed.

About Us

SubRosa exists beneath The Grand, York; secretive, shadowed, and still. Nestled within the hotel’s historic vaults, this is a sanctuary built on contrast: the grandeur above, the calm below. Descend to disconnect. Rise renewed. A subterranean sanctuary reimagined, SubRosa redefines what a city-centre spa can be.

Thermal facilities include a Tirol hot sauna, Himalayan salt sauna, herbal steam room, hydrotherapy pool, and foot spas.

Five treatment rooms offer rejuvenating treatments from product houses by Elemis and SeaBody, alongside Moroccan-inspired hammam and Rasul experiences by MarocMaroc.

The name itself tells you everything. Sub rosa - Latin for “under the rose” - speaks of secrecy, nurture, and care. A quiet nod to York’s own symbol, and a promise of what awaits. This is not an escape from the world. It’s where you return to yourself.
