RBH

As we start wrapping up 2024, we are proud to look back on the progress we have made across the business in terms of our Giving Something Back programme. Not only have we continued to raise significant funds for charity, our hotels and offices have also continued to make strides in regard to adopting more sustainable practices, reflected in the number of hotels now accredited with Green Tourism, as well as supporting the health & wellbeing of their teams through our internal Tree of Life programme. Congratulations to all those involved and we look forward to seeing what we can achieve in 2025! #LifeAtRBH #GivingSomethingBack #RBHPartnerships #ESG

Following the successful rebrand and launch of The Milner York, formerly The Principal York Hotel, our Group Director of Marketing, Andrew Farrow discusses the ins and outs of managing a hotel rebrand, from the creatives to managing the change in culture. “The renaming of a hotel, particularly one with a rich heritage, requires a careful balance between honouring its legacy and positioning it for a modern audience. This deeply strategic and intricate process goes far beyond simply picking a new name and changing the signage”. Thank you to The Hotel Magazine for covering the feature, which can be found here  – https://lnkd.in/eQUd7R7f #HotelRebrand #HotelMarketing #HotelCulture
