Boroughbridge's Crown Hotel completes first phase of major refurbishment
The Crown Hotel in Boroughbridge has completed the first phase of a major refurbishment.
The project has seen a coffee bar added to the historic 38-room hotel and the ground floor given a totally fresh look.
The Coaching Inn Group bought the hotel in February after its parent company, RedCat Pub Company, purchased it from Best Western for an undisclosed fee.
Kevin Charity, chief executive of the Coaching Inn Group, attended a Boroughbridge and District Chamber of Trade event on Monday to talk about the project.

Mr Charity said the previous management team had done a great job looking after the Grade II listed coaching house, whose spa and leisure facilities include a swimming pool, but it had been "time for a change". He said:
The Coaching Inn Group, which owns 32 hotels, including the Golden Fleece Hotel in Thirsk, the Talbot Hotel in Malton and the King's Head in Richmond, has so far invested £720,000 on the Boroughbridge hotel.
Mr Charity told the Stray Ferret the company, which employs 1,400 staff, planned to redecorate the outside and introduce new signage in spring and longer-term planned to refurbish the leisure facilities and the function room.
