Time flies, but elegance remains - the century-old hotel in York
The Principal York, adjacent to York train station, boasts a private garden and enchanting views of York Minster. The hotel was established in 1878, and its commitment to quality and luxury is evident in the yellow Scarborough bricks🧱 and the Tadcaster stone decorations.
Over a hundred years later, many modern brand hotels have sprung up in York, but this hotel still maintains its unique charm, grand architectural facade, and a blend of classic and contemporary styles, securing its place in the fierce competition among the city's ancient hotels.
🏨Hotel Environment:
In 2015, millions of pounds were invested, and the award-winning interior architect Goddard Littlefair was commissioned to renovate and restore the hotel, integrating the grandeur of late Victorian architecture with the comfort of modern travel. The result is 155 elegant and comfortable bedrooms and suites, decorated in balanced neutral tones.
🖼Dining Recommendations:
The hotel's Refectory Kitchen & Terrace uses the finest ingredients from York and the surrounding countryside, offering classic British dishes in the restaurant🍴, while the Chapter House Bar is a great place to taste local craft beers🍻 and special cocktails🍹.
📍Hotel Address:
Station Road, York. YO24 1AA
