The Principal York

The Royal York Hotel has been lovingly restored to create a dramatic sense of arrival to guests at the hotel, and sweeping views through the ground-floor public space into the Garden Room and beyond to York Minster in the background, the perfect setting to read a good book.

The Principal York boasts one of the largest event centres in Yorkshire and the north-east, with 10 meeting and private dining rooms with capacities that range from six people to as many as 400 in the event centre.

From smart day-delegate offers and engaging residential conferences and gala events the Meetings & Events Team at The Principal York will work with you from the initial enquiry through to the finishing touches.

With 155 stylish bedrooms in soft hues of grey and cream. Refectory Kitchen and Terrace serving seasonal dishes inspired by Yorkshire’s rich abundance of world-class produce and Chapter House Bar with a robust choice of wines, craft beers, Champagnes and cocktails have completed this transformation.

Join us for the most delicious of British traditions: afternoon tea served daily in the stunning Garden Room with views of York Minster.
