Your Accommodation for One of the World’s Best Places to Visit
Hull has officially made it onto National Geographic’s list of the Best of the World 2026 destinations. Yes, Hull. Our city has been named one of the best places to visit on the planet, alongside places like Rio de Janeiro and the Dolomites. So, if you’re planning a trip to experience the city’s new life and laid-back charm, there’s no better place to stay than Hideout.
Hull in the Spotlight
National Geographic describes Hull as a city with a “defiant spirit” and “laid-back charm that’s hard to resist.” It’s the kind of praise we locals have always known it deserves. With over 800 years of maritime history and a huge regeneration project reaching its peak in 2026, Hull is set to shine brighter than ever.
The Hull Maritime Museum will reopen next summer after a major transformation, and you’ll also be able to visit restored ships like the Arctic Corsair and Spurn Lightship. Add that to a buzzing creative scene and a growing food culture, and you’ve got a destination that feels fresh and full of character.
Stay in Hull, Right in the Heart of It
At Hideout, you’re at the heart of the action. Our location puts you at the centre of Hull’s best bits. Step outside and you’re a short walk from the Marina, Humber Street, and Old Town, all of which are featured in National Geographic’s article.
Need a caffeine fix? Hearth (right across Trinity Square) serves up great coffee with unbeatable views of Hull Minster. Hungry? Pop into Trinity Market next door for freshly made food from local traders. You’ll also find the Ferens Art Gallery, The Deep, and Connexin Live just a few minutes away.
