The Principal York (Formally The Royal York) has been restored to splendour by interior architects Goddard Littlefair, creating a dramatic sense of arrival and sweeping views into the new Garden Room and York Minster in the background; the new Refectory restaurant and Chapter House bar complete the picture. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and adjacent to the train station, with a spectacular view of York Minster, The Royal York Hotel elegantly combines the historic and the modern to deliver an unforgettable stay.
