New-look Lancaster hotel set for Royal festive season
The new owners and management team took over the Market Street property in late 2016, and since then millions of pounds have been spent restoring the building, which dates back to 1625 and the reign of Charles 1.
With work having been completed on the lower floors, the design team has now moved on to the guest rooms and upper floors.

The hotel itself is barely recognisable from how it was just two years ago and currently boasts Christmas trees and decorations ready to celebrate the festive season like never before.
Throughout December. Father Christmas will be in his cosy sitting room at the weekends, ready to welcome families for private visits.
The hotel is also taking bookings for a five course Christmas dinner and seven course New Year’s Eve cabaret-style celebration.
