Introduction

This wonderful old hotel reverted back to private ownership in 2000. Since then, the famous old hostelry has had a major upgrade and improvement programme and now sits proudly once again as the hub of the local community. The 28 bedrooms and suites are all to AA and Visit Wales exacting 4 Star Town House standards with a 'boutiquey' feel and having been upgraded now offer contemporary style and facilities, including wireless broadband; but with the same emphasis on comfort and tradition.

As a family run business with the friendliness and efficiency of 'all who serve!' Peter's two sons, Joe and Gareth, bring their dad's humour and their mum's warmth to the guests, leading the 'front of house team'. They know that good service is an essential ingredient of the hotel's continuing success.

The Castle Hotel sits right in the middle of the medievel walled town of Conwy, with its famous castle built by Edward I in the 13th Century.The town boasts some of the most complete castellated walls in the world and has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

History to the present day

Standing on the site of a Cistercian abbey and then two famous hostelries, The Castle and the 15th Century King's Head. The Castle was by far the larger and in Victorian times has had an attractive face lift of local granite and Ruabon brick and is now one of Conwy's most photographed buildings. It has played host to many famous people, such as Telford, Stephenson, Wordsworth and the Queen of Romania who lunched in the restaurant whilst visiting Llandudno.

The interior of the hotel has many interesting features and antiques. John Dawson-Watson, a distinguished victorian artist and illustrator spent his last days in Conwy, there is a significant collection of his work hanging in the hotel and especially in Dawson's Bar and Cuisine. 

Food and Drinks

Full Welsh breakfast is served from 7.30am.

After a major upgrade, an eclectic menu to suit all tastes is served in both Dawson's Bar and Restaurant. This menu changes with the seasons and is complimented by an 'Early Bird' menu and a Sunday luncheon when local Welsh beef is always served. Also, during winter and spring months, Graham, Consultant Chef/Director and the Manager of the Welsh Culinary Team, creates a series of very special 'gourmet' menus, which when complimented by carefully selected wines, make truly memorable 'wine & food evenings'.

The food reflects all that is good about local Welsh produce, a real 'Taste of Wales' and the hotel's experienced team's non- fussy approach to the restaurant business. The order of the day, is good food served well, on hot plates, as quickly as possible!
