Metropole Spa Hotel

A grand Victorian spa hotel in the heart of a Mid Wales spa town

This elegant four-star hotel stands at the centre of Llandrindod Wells, the handsome Victorian spa town in the green heart of Mid Wales. Carrying an AA four-star rating and a place in the Welsh Rarebits collection of special hotels, it pairs the grandeur of a classic spa-town hotel with a genuinely warm welcome — comfortable rooms, good food and its own spa and health club make it an easy, all-round base for exploring Powys and the Cambrian Mountains.

Rooms for every kind of stay

Bedrooms come in a range of styles, from Luxury Tower and Superior rooms to Family, Classic Plus and Classic rooms, all beautifully furnished and en-suite, with flat-screen TVs, hairdryers, trouser presses and tea and coffee making facilities. Dog-friendly rooms are available too, so you can bring the family pet. Whether you are here for a romantic break, a family holiday or a walking or cycling trip with friends, there is a room to suit.

Spa, pool and health club

The Rock Spa & Health Club is a real highlight, with a swimming pool, sauna and steam room alongside a newly refurbished gym fitted with Technogym equipment. A menu of spa treatments — facials, massages, body scrubs and wraps — makes it easy to build in some pampering, and it is a welcome place to relax after a day in the hills.

Dining under one roof

You are well looked after at mealtimes. Spencer’s Bar & Brasserie and the Radnor & Miles Restaurant cover everything from a relaxed bite to a proper dinner, there is a Starbucks for coffee on the go, and afternoon tea and Sunday lunch are part of the offering. With free parking and free WiFi throughout, plus a dozen function rooms for weddings and events, it works just as well for a celebration as for a quiet couple of nights away.

Llandrindod Wells and Mid Wales

Llandrindod Wells grew up as a Victorian spa town and still wears that elegance well, with its boating lake, the leafy Rock Park, the National Cycle Collection and streets of handsome period architecture all close to the hotel. It is a brilliant launch pad for Mid Wales: the Elan Valley reservoirs and their dark-sky walking are a short drive away, the market town of Builth Wells and the Royal Welsh Showground are nearby, and the Cambrian Mountains and the River Wye are on the doorstep for walkers, cyclists and canoeists.
