In the coming days new signage will be installed at the Principal York, as part of the rebrand.
The move follows months of preparation and £2million of renovations and enhancements.
The 4-star hotel on Station Road officially relaunches next Wednesday (October 16), creating a new chapter for this historical Grade II listed hotel.
Originally built in 1878 as the Royal Station Hotel, the operators say this new name honours the hotel's connection to York's railway heritage while embracing a modern future.
Named after William Milner, the York Station foreman during World War II who posthumously received the King’s commendation for gallantry, the new brand symbolises bravery and valour, paying tribute to those who have contributed to York's rich history.
