SPANNING YORK'S HISTORY. When the Romans came to Britain in AD71, they already had a bit of experience of world travel. They knew a good place to stay when they saw one and chose the site of The Blue Bridge (where the River Foss meets the River Ouse) to build one of their most important fortresses in Britain. Many others were also attracted to stay at this same site. The Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors and Georgians all added to York's rich history. With so many distinguished visitors to the site of the Blue Bridge throughout the ages, the Blue Bridge Hotel is part of the rich seam of York's history and an ideal site for your stay in York. We look forward to welcoming you. The site that has become the City of York was an ideal location to occupy since the earliest of times being both safe and well provided with the necessities of life. Evidence of habitation as far back as the 'Stone Age' has been found here.We are proud that the Blue Bridge Hotel is today carrying on this tradition and will do all we can to ensure that you are safe and well provided with the necessities of life during your stay with us.

Step out of the hotel and take the short stroll down Blue Bridge Lane and you will find yourself standing on the Blue Bridge from which the hotel takes its name. A wooden drawbridge with its structures always painted blue, has stood here since 1736. The bridge crosses the River Foss at Saint George's Field where a festival and pageant used to be held on Saint George's Day to commemorate the Patron Saint of England. There also used to be a ducking stool here which was first used for the correction of females who;used fake measures or brewed bad beer; but it was also later used to punish females who were;flyters or scolds;. Happily there has been no need for the ducking stool for many many years as customers are nowadays invariably happy with York's hospitality.
