Occupying an ornate building that dates all the way back to the 1600s, you’ll discover Hocus Pocus along one of York’s smallest streets, right next to the famous Shambles Market.
Hocus Pocus Tiny Hotel is a boutique hotel a literal stones throw away from York’s most famous street, The Shambles.
The hotel is comprised of 5 magic themed rooms, each room has its own unique style
Principium Magicae
When history blends seamlessly with high end luxury, enchanting your view and elevating your soul! Be ready to spend one night or more in this majestic double room with a dreamy double bed, en-suite and unique, magical design following the boutique hotel concept. Feel like a King or a Queen for your stay in the room where everything started: “the Principium”.
Itinerandum
Your journey will be endless in this family room which can accommodate up to 4 people. Its design is inspired by time travel and long lost places. Rest in a historic train station in the main room while watching the stars from the luxury double bed and experience the couchette beds whilst reminiscing on a forgotten journey, either historical or nearby in your quantic Universe. The en-suite bathroom with shower enclosure is located in the couchette wagon a Victorian design in line with the rest of the ambient.
Sorceryum
While the Mother Witch is out of office, you may have the honour to share her Reign in the House Main Room (can accommodate 2 people) located on the first floor. You might experience out of your body trips during the Full Moon nights, you may always keep the window shut in order to avoid it. Feel free to create your own spells using the elements on the Altar. Follow the instructions strictly and you’ll found what you’re looking for! Use wisely the Moon Water unless you want to hear whispers coming through the keyhole and enjoy your holiday in York.
Apothecary
In this family room (can accommodate up to 5 people) you are allowed to try your own alchemy formulas. All the Gold you manage to create you may take it home with you. You’ll be charged only for the room. Some potions displayed are alive and they will try to tempt you with a sip! Please do not listen to them, keep them locked in their cupboards and especially do not touch them! You may use all the potions you’ll find in your bathroom for a dream flavoured and relaxing bath. Enjoy the skyline of Shambles neighbourhood from your window and the colours of the sunset casting down on the roofs of York- the City that never sleeps.
Libraryum
This family room (can accommodate up to 4 people) is an infinite illusion, we are not sure even it exists for real but people have talked about their experience in it, and this gives it some semblance of existence. We understand that once inside the main room you should be ready to get lost in a psychedelic library, surrounded by books that are replicating themselves as you watch the walls. There could be side-effects if you book this room such as vertigo and claustrophobia. The second room allegedly has a bespoke wooden bunk bed and is steady, with no illusions we have heard about. Tareg, the librarian who used to live here 450 years ago and who still visit sometimes, was a very tiny man and the bathroom was tailored for him however he liked his comfort, and as a result it is equipped with everything you need: shower enclosure, toilet, sink and enchanting mirror just like in a hotel room!
