Mercure Hotels in Cardiff
As the capital of Wales, Cardiff is worlds away from other British cities and is the best place to experience that legendary Welsh culture. Once an industrial port town, Cardiff has emerged as a fun, modern city, with more pubs per square foot than anywhere else in the UK. It’s also famous for its castles, and you can see several medieval fortresses in the city and surrounding area. Don’t miss the magnificent Cardiff Castle right in the heart of town, and the fairytale Castell Coch with sweeping views over the Cardiff valleys. If you’re looking for spa hotels in Cardiff, our 4-star Mercure Holland House boasts a prime location within walking distance of the city’s main attractions, such as the Wales Millennium Centre, a futuristic opera, dance and theatre complex, Techniquest, a hands-on science and discovery centre and Mermaid Quay, a chic waterfront leisure district with restaurants, bars and shops. Sports fans will be well looked after in Cardiff, thanks to the Principality Stadium, home to the Welsh rugby and football teams, and a regular venue for the British Speedway Grand Prix. There’s also the International White Water Centre where you can go surfing, rafting and kayaking, or simply relax in gorgeous Bute Park. If you want to do some more exploring, our nearby Mercure hotels in Bristol are just across the water, meaning you can add a little English trip to your Welsh holiday.
