A rejuvenated city once more the pride of the north, Hull has overcome its staid, industrial image and was recently named the UK City of Culture until 2020. With a thriving food and bar scene, a hat-trick of theatres and top-class sports teams, as well as an award-winning aquarium, the colossal Humber Bridge and a busy and buzzing waterfront all located a short walk from our three Hull hotels, this Yorkshire city has rightly become one of the most talked-about places in the UK.
