 Concierge
A warm welcome to The St David's Hotel & Spa in the heart of Cardiff from the Head Concierge and all the team at the hotel. The St David's Hotel & Spa is situated in the heart of Cardiff Bay and is well serviced by all modes of transport. Cardiff Airport is almost ten miles west of the hotel and is approximately 30 minutes' drive. To enhance your stay at The St David's Hotel & Spa, the hotel has a luxury, chauffeured vehicle that is available for transfers to and from Cardiff Airport. Of all the parts of Britain, Wales has maintained its historical independence and ancient Celtic mother tongue, which is communicated through the nationalism of its people.
Cardiff, the youthful capital of Wales, is vibrant yet offers a setting for a calm retreat away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic lifestyle. The St David's Hotel & Spa is located on the waterfront in Cardiff and has been described by Condé Nast as one of the 'Top 20 Coolest Hotels of the World'. Cardiff Bay, once a coal port, is now Wales' prestigious centre of culture and commerce and is home to the Welsh National Assembly and an array of new developments including Mermaid Quay and the Wales Millennium Centre.
Whilst you are staying with us, we hope you will have time to explore, taking in the history and sounds of this magical city, including the National Museum and Gallery - Cardiff's hidden treasure. The gallery has one of the largest collections of Impressionist work outside of Paris, largely thanks to Welsh sisters Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, who were avid collectors of Turner, Cézanne, Monet and Degas. The museum offers entertainment for all the family, providing a journey of discovery - from Wales's oldest rock to big, fluffy mammoths and dinosaurs. Visit Cardiff's Royal Arcade, Britain's only three-storey arcade, or the oldest record shop in the world, Spillers.
