Principal Hotel
York
The Principal York hotel is a luxurious, historic hotel located in the heart of York, England. The hotel is part of the Principal Hotel Group and is known for its grand late-Victorian architecture. The hotel’s design is inspired by the Victorian era, and it features ornate details, including high ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and intricate mouldings. The hotel’s 155 rooms and suites have been refurbished in collaboration with interior architects Goddard Littlefair, creating stunning suites that blend traditional styles with modern twists.
The renovation project aimed to create a modern, luxurious experience for guests while maintaining the hotel’s historic charm. The design team drew inspiration from the hotel’s grand architecture, incorporating Victorian-era design elements such as rich fabrics, ornate wallpapers, and classic furniture. They added modern touches, such as sleek fixtures and contemporary art, to create a seamless blend of old and new.
