Hot spots - Cardiff
Hot spots
This month we head to the glorious
land of Saint David, with the best
places to eat, greet and lay your head
in Cardiff and the surrounding area
AWAY ON BUSINESS
THE HILTON, CARDIFF
Where? Kingsway, Cardiff.
Why? There are many things that can set a hotel
apart from its competitors, but one thing that always
makes any stay memorable is a great view. The Hilton
Cardiff has visual delights in abundance. Situated
on the corner of Kingsway, mere steps away from
a throng of excellent eateries, superb shops and
bustling bars, the hotel overlooks the magnificent
grounds of Cardiff Castle. A national heritage site,
parts of the castle date back to 50 AD, and it is one
of Wales’ most popular tourist attractions. You’ll
struggle to find a better sight to wake up to anywhere
in the UK.
The executive rooms are finished with the quality
touches you’d expect from a five-star hotel, despite
this only being four-star graded. A welcome tray of
fine cheeses, fresh scones and Irish liqueurs will put a
smile on anyone’s face as they enter their room, and
the executive lounge is well stocked for breakfast with
the finest smoked salmon, an array of continental
meats, and of course, a full English for even the most
patriotic of Welsh travellers to guiltily savour.
The Hilton name has long been synonymous with
elegance and quality, so it is no surprise that it has
excelled once again.
