The Victoria Hotel

A landmark hotel beside the Menai Suspension Bridge

The Victoria Hotel enjoys one of the most iconic settings in North Wales, right beside Thomas Telford’s magnificent Menai Suspension Bridge at Menai Bridge on Anglesey. A Grade II listed building, part of the Chef & Brewer Collection since 2022, it offers comfortable rooms — many with panoramic views over the Menai Strait towards the mountains of Snowdonia — along with its own restaurant and bar, and a dog-friendly welcome. It is a memorable base for exploring Anglesey, and guests rate it highly, with the location scoring 9.4 out of 10.

The rooms

There is a good range of room types, from standard and superior doubles and kings to family rooms and accessible rooms, including doubles with a sea view that make the most of that glorious Strait setting. Rooms come with the comforts you would expect, and some have balconies; dogs are welcome on request (charges may apply). One practical note worth knowing: the hotel does not have a lift, and its central position means it can be a busy spot.

Food, drink and the view

The hotel has its own on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner — British cuisine with vegetarian options — and a bar for a relaxed drink, with that wonderful outlook over the Strait. The setting really is the star: few hotels in Wales can match the view of Telford’s elegant 1820s suspension bridge spanning the Strait, with the Snowdonia peaks rising beyond.

Menai Bridge and the Strait

Menai Bridge takes its name from Telford’s pioneering suspension bridge, which first linked Anglesey to the mainland in 1826. The town sits on the wooded shores of the Menai Strait, with the lovely Belgian Promenade and Church Island walk close by, looking across to the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia). There is plenty to explore nearby: the historic town of Beaumaris with its UNESCO castle, the National Trust’s grand mansion at Plas Newydd, and the cathedral city of Bangor just across the Strait.

Good to know

A hotel with its own restaurant and bar, in such a landmark setting, is an easy and memorable choice for an Anglesey break — you can settle in, enjoy the view over a meal or a drink, and use it as a base for the whole island. The range of rooms, including family and accessible options, and the dog-friendly welcome make it flexible for different kinds of stay. Do bear in mind there is no lift, and the central location can be lively. Anglesey is busiest and at its best through the summer, so booking ahead is wise for those weeks, especially for the sea-view rooms.
