Castle Hotel Conwy

The medieval town of Conwy is the perfect setting for the Castle Hotel, a historic building that has been tastefully brought up to date with some fabulous modern touches.

The Castle Hotel sits along narrow cobbled streets at the heart of the walled town of Conwy, and is a worthy neighbour of the impressive 13th Century fortress Conwy Castle . The hotel's own interesting history dates back to the 15th Century when it was originally a Cistercian Abbey, since then the Castle Hotel has famously served as a coaching inn. Conwy railway station is situated just around the corner from this hotel whilst for those driving there is a secure car park to the rear of the hotel accessible through the old coaching arch which is free to residents.

The red sandstone porch with its impressive bay window above the doorway marks a striking entrance and the public areas which maintain a traditional character with galleries adorned with paintings of Shakespearean scenes by Victorian artist John Dawson Watson. The story goes that he gave these in return for lodgings, though one is unfinished as he came into money and checked out. The hotel is family owned and the personal attendance and service makes for a a truly welcoming flavour of welsh service.

Each of the suites are individually decorated to lavish tastes; from the decadent, with a huge twin Jacuzzi, to the antique, with an elegant hand carved four-poster bed dated 1570 that was reputedly once slept in by King Charles I . All suites are well appointed and well kept with grandiose beds and pristine, well-lit bathrooms and each have a unique quality that will certainly impress. Standard rooms are all sizable, with large beds, ample bathrooms and unique features and all rooms throughout the hotel have been recently and sympathetically refurbished to maintain the highest levels of quality and comfort.

The Castle Hotel prides itself on their food and drink. The recently remodelled restaurant provides an intimate setting for evening dining and the menu offers a wide selection of modern and tradtional dishes prepared with flair and creativity using primarily locally sourced produce. Indeed the kitchen currently hold a number of accolades and awards for their mouthwatering dishes and menus. The more traditional bar area at the Castle offers local welsh ales, quality wines and an array of spirits. This is the perfect spot to kick-back and meet the locals or to simply enjoy a more informal snack or meal from the extensive bar menu.

The Castle Hotel is centrally located in this magical north Wales town and offers quality service, accommodation and food experiences.
