The building opened 166 years ago as the Station Hotel in Hull. In more recent times it has been the Quality Royal Hotel Hull. Then it was rebranded as the Mercure Hull hotel.
Now the original railway hotel is to be become the Royal Hotel Hull operated by Britannia Hotels, its new owners.
Historic it may be, but in 1990 much of the hotel had to be gutted and rebuilt following a devastating fire. Only the facade and the staircase remain from the original building.
The Royal Hotel Hull has 155 bedrooms with free wi-fi throughout. There is a restaurant and bar and a range of meeting and events spaces accommodating from two to 450 delegates.
The Royal Hotel Hull is located in Ferensway at the heart of central Hull. It is connected to Hull Paragon rail and bus station and is within easy reach of the M62 motorway.
