Situated in the heart of Wales' vibrant Capital City, The Royal is Cardiff's oldest hotel, dating back to 1866 when it first opened its doors to welcome visitors to the great city. The hotel is situated on the second floor above the hustle and bustle of St Mary Street and Westgate Street with a discreet entrance leading to a warm Welsh welcome.

The Millennium Stadium is just a few minutes walk away; in fact many rooms overlook Cardiff's magnificent centre piece and iconic sporting venue. The Millennium Stadium will play host to the first part of the Olympic Games 2012 with the launch of the ladies football.

The hotel is proud to preserve and maintain the Captain Scott Room, the room was re-named after Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his intrepid team of explorers held their final public banquet at the hotel before departing for the pole on 15th June 1910. The banquet room is preserved in honour of their brave sacrifice and maintained as The Captain Scott Room. Memorabilia is housed in cabinets generously loaned by the Captain Scott Society. The room is available for private hire for weddings; banquets etc. and is where we serve breakfast most weekends.

The Royal Hotels' 60 stylish and contemporary bedrooms are all uniquely different, offering space, neutral tones and bold furnishings and great views of the city. All rooms boast pocket sprung beds, crisp, clean linen and over-sized goose down pillows for a comfortable and enjoyable nights sleep. All natural limestone bathrooms have massage showers or deep baths, a selection of toiletries and fresh towels.
