York private-house hotel The Vices and its in-house restaurant Allium, announces that it will be closing its doors from 30th September 2023
The founders have put the closure down to a significant change in personal circumstances
As reported by YorkMix, The hotel made the Michelin Guide in January this year, headed up by Chef Luke Sanderson – less than a year after its 2022 opening.
The official statement from the company directors reads,
“Dear Friends,
Despite the success and industry recognition we’ve been fortunate to achieve together, life’s unpredictable turns have led us to a point of change. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our beloved The Vices and Allium. As dedicated founders and owners, this decision comes as a result of significant changes in our personal circumstances.
We want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support, and we cherish the memories created within these walls. While this chapter may be closing, the spirit of excellence and passion will continue to inspire us, and our lived experiences will forever remain a part of our shared journey.
Our last service at Allium will be Saturday 30th of September, we hope to see you all again soon!
Thank you for being part of our family.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Daniele, Moreno, and the whole team”
The hotel itself, which is situated in Alma Terrace off Fulford Road, was listed in The Times Top 100 Best Places to Stay in Britain for 2023. Although the hotel is closing, the impressive space will transition back into the founders’ private residence, where they will continue to welcome a select number of guests for occasional stays, preserving the intimate and personalised experience it has been known for, and being host for select private events.
