PRINCIPAL is a collection of award-winning hotels in city centre locations the length and breadth of Britain. Many of them occupy heritage, grande dame buildings; all of them are distinctive in their own way.
An ongoing investment of more than £200 million is transforming our hotels, upgrading the bedrooms and introducing quirky, British finishing touches from tuck boxes to toiletries.
