Inspired by the spirit of Lady Amber Fitzwilliam*, the pioneering scientist and society wit who ran her famous salon from the hotel in the early twentieth century, Amber’s has been created to offer high-quality dining experience for Cedar Court hotel guests and local Harrogate residents alike and offering a new entertaining space for both large and small events such as dinners, celebrations and weddings.

Offering Yorkshire take on contemporary British cuisine in a sophisticated, relaxed setting, the Harrogate hotel has undergone a significant transformation over last 12 months and the new dining areas the final piece of the renovation project.
Focused on sourcing high quality ingredients from across Yorkshire and the British Isles, the Cedar Court team has been working closely with local suppliers to design a carefully curated menu and a stylish eating experience.
Purposefully designed to feel homely and inviting for every guest, the interior design has been managed by award winning design practice Studio Two Interiors and inspired by the building’s rich history and ornate detailing, the space uses soft tactile elements, earthy warm tones and intricate design details which echo Lady Amber’s meticulous note-taking.
