Company information

Our souls are bound by a shared passion—for history, for magic, for the timeless art of hospitality, and for crafting spaces where dreams may dwell. The walls of our Tiny Hotel are not mere brick and mortar, but the embodiment of a singular vision: to breathe life into the legends of York, and to offer you not just a place to stay, but a portal into another world. Here, every stone has a story. Every timber beam echoes with the laughter of ages past. What you behold is the result of our deep reverence for the past, our love for the mystical, and our desire to build not only with tools, but with heart, wonder, and the alchemy of joy. When you cross our threshold, you do not simply enter a room—you enter an enchantment. A place where you are not a guest, but a part of something ancient, storied, and spellbound. And as night falls, the magic only deepens. Candlelight dances on the walls, dreams stir in the shadows, and the stillness of the hour becomes a lullaby woven with whispers from another time. Let yourself drift—wrapped in comfort, wonder, and a little spellwork of our own. Your enchanted journey has only just begun.

Property information

In the heart of York, where shadows dance through ancient alleys and whispers of the past echo from stone walls, a haven of enchantment awaits. Born from our passion for history, sorcery, and timeless tales, The Hocus Pocus York offers a sanctuary for dreamers, wanderers, and believers in the arcane. Beyond its weathered doors lie five spellbound suites, each cloaked in its own story, draped in velvet mystery, and guarded by time itself. Here, every chamber bears secrets, every mirror reflects echoes of forgotten eras. The city’s clamor fades into silence as moonlight spills over charmed furniture, inviting guests to rest where kings once conspired and dragons may still breathe beneath the floorboards. Magic is not merely a promise—it lingers in the air. It lives in the walls, hums in the corridors, and waits for your touch. A stay with us is not mere lodging—it is a ritual, a passage into a world that stirs poets' hearts and ignites the imagination. Whether you come with family or lover, in search of legend or lullaby, our spell is cast upon all. Since the 14th of June, 2022, Hocus Pocus has stood as a reborn relic—its bones old as time, its soul rekindled with care and devotion. The walls remember, and so shall you. If your heart is brave and your spirit curious, join us. But speak not of what you see. For those who believe, the magic is eternal. Shhh…

Neighbourhood information

Take your time and stroll the neighbouring cobblestone streets, revel the beautiful works of local artists in the city’s museums, explore the Shambles, the secret alleyways, explore the snickleways, dream about the old times in front of the Minster, walk on the city walls and become part of a city surrounded by history and magic. Hocus Pocus is in the heart of the city centre, therefore you can feel its pulse and vibration. This is a full of life location!
