The Milner York

It is a five-storey building of yellow Scarborough brick and was completed in 1878, a year after the present station opened.

[2] Designed by architect William Peachey of the North Eastern Railway,[3] the hotel was an integral part of the new station.

[5] It featured elegant, high-ceilinged banqueting rooms and 100 large bedrooms costing 14 shillings a night.

[6] A 27-room west wing was added in 1896, nicknamed the "Klondyke" for the Klondike Gold Rush of the time.

The sale inventory dated October 1982 is held by the National Railway Museum at York.

[17] Starwood Capital sold Principal Hayley to Fonciere des Regions in 2018,[18] and the new owners contracted with IHG Hotels & Resorts to manage the properties.

[20] In March 2024, RBH announced their intention to rename the hotel The Milner York, for local war hero William Milner, the Second World War-era foreman of York station, killed on 29 April 1942 during German air raids known as the Baedeker Raids, while attempting to retrieve first aid supplies in the station.
