Travel + Leisure "Located in the quiet Lapa neighborhood, the York House hotel is a converted Carmelite convent built in 1606." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A former 17th-century convent, turned into a boarding house by two Yorkshire women in the 19th century."
Rough Guide "Located in a sixteenth-century Carmelite convent (and hidden from the main street by high walls), rooms here are chic and minimalist."
Star Service "On a cobbled street of grand but decaying buildings, this hotel sits between Bairro Alto and the waterfront, near its tiny, less evocative sibling Janelas Verdes." Full review
Fodor's "Although it's a good way west of the center, York House is on tram and bus routes from downtown and near the Museu de Arte Antiga." Full review
