One of the most spectacular Hotels in Cardiff is the St David’s Hotel & Spa on the waterfront at Cardiff Bay, opened some five years ago, and with a seven-storey atrium, well equipped spa and conference centre. If you’re looking for a City Centre Hotel in Cardiff, the Royal Hotel in St Mary St fits the bill, with contemporary bedrooms and the famous Scott Room, for weddings and receptions, where Captain Scott held his farewell dinner, before setting off for The Antarctic in 1910. Also near the Millennium Stadium is the Sandringham with its Café Jazz buzzy restaurant with live music performed on most nights.
Another central business Hotel in Cardiff is The Parc, with its Crown Social restaurant and modern art adorning the contemporary bedroom walls. Those looking for a golfing Hotel in Cardiff could do worse than stay at St Mellons Hotel & Country Club at Castleton, to the East of the city, with spa and indoor pool. Two country house Hotels in Cardiff, both popular for weddings, are at Thornhill, just north of the M4: The New House, a member of the Town & Country Hotels group, and Manor Parc Country Hotel & Restaurant, both set in extensive grounds and with magnificent views over the city.
Hotels in Central Cardiff
Back in the city centre, opposite the Welsh Assembly building is one of the quirkier Hotels in Cardiff: Jolyons Boutique Hotel where the host presides over snack suppers and extempore breakfasts in the basement.
There is a similar stylish hotel at St Fagans, near the Museum of Welsh Life in the north of the city in The Old Post Office, 
a Restaurant with Rooms where Simon Healy is in charge of the conservatory dining operation. The hotel has just six contemporary bedrooms. Two good b&b Hotels in Cardiff, both in Cathedral Road, are The Townhouse and Lincoln House, the latter with a modern attic penthouse. Both have ample parking to the rear of their premises.
