“This hotel stands out for its remarkable architecture and historical value; the conversion of a former coal exchange into a luxury hotel enriches the experience. The service aims for personalization, particularly for special occasions, and the rooms-some featuring Jacuzzis-offer a relaxing retreat near Cardiff Bay. I believe the on-site dining and proximity to key attractions, like Cardiff Castle, enhance its appeal for both leisure and business travelers.”
