This first 'boutique' hotel in Cardiff opened in 2004 and makes a refreshing change to the chain member hotels who mostly populate the city centre. It is just opposite the Millennium Centre and near the Welsh Assembly Building in the regenerated Docks area. Jolyons has just six individually designed bedrooms, with king-size beds, WIFI and freeview TV. Bathrooms have Philippe Starck loos and broad ended baths. Two have TV screens; one has a whirlpool bath, one is a wet room and all come with large fluffy towels, bathrobes and toiletries. In the basement is Bar Cwtch where sumptuous breakfasts are served. In the evenings, possibly post-theatre, rustic-style pizzas and rosemary breads are available, cooked in a log burning pizza oven. The Bar can also be rented for private or corporate functions. Jolyon and his charming young team will point you in the direction of nearby restaurants. Atlantic Wharf, Mermaid Quay Shopping centre and Techniquest are all within walking distance.
