St George’s Promenade Hotel

A grand Victorian seafront hotel on Llandudno’s promenade

One of Llandudno’s grand original hotels, this prestigious four-star Victorian landmark stands right on the elegant promenade beside the Great Orme, with many rooms looking straight out over the bay. Once named AA Hotel of the Year, it offers comfortable, elegant rooms, an excellent seafront restaurant and the real sense of occasion that comes with a classic promenade hotel. With the pier and the North Shore beach on the doorstep, it is a memorable base for exploring the “Queen of Welsh Resorts.”

Elegant rooms, many with sea views

There is a wide choice of bedrooms, from singles and classic and premier rooms up through a range of sea-view options — sea-view glimpse, executive, deluxe and superior sea-view rooms — so you can pick exactly how much of that famous bay view you would like. Rooms are well equipped with air-conditioning and a work desk, and there are facilities for guests with disabilities. The hotel is non-smoking, and free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms.

Dining with a sea view

The hotel’s restaurant, Thyme By The Sea, serves British and European cuisine and is open through the day — breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and high tea — with a bar for wines, speciality coffees and afternoon teas. Breakfast offers a generous spread, with continental, full English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices, so you can start the day in style before heading out along the front.

Right on the promenade

The position is hard to beat: right on Llandudno’s grand Victorian promenade, with the pier a short stroll away and the North Shore beach directly across the front. There is free on-site parking (limited, on a first-come basis), which is a real bonus in such a central seafront spot.

Exploring Llandudno and the coast

You could hardly be more central to Llandudno: the pier — the longest in Wales — is a short walk along the promenade, and the sweeping North Shore beach is right across the front. Towering above the town is the Great Orme, reached by the Victorian tramway or the cable car, with its summit views, country park and ancient copper mines around a mile away. The walled town and castle of Conwy are a few miles along the coast, and the mountains of Snowdonia are within about a twenty-minute drive.
