Angel Hotel

Frommer's Review

This elegant Victorian hotel across from Cardiff Castle was the place to stay in South Wales when it was first built. Over the years it has attracted everybody from Greta Garbo to the Beatles to every prime minister of Britain. It will never regain its old supremacy, as greater hotels such as Cardiff Bay and St. David's Hotel & Spa have long surpassed it, but the Angel is still there and still good -- and it has regained some of its old prestige following a restoration -- a world of neo-Doric decor, trompe l'oeil ceilings, Waterford crystal chandeliers, and hand-stippled faux-marble columns. As befits a hotel of this age, rooms come in a wide variety of styles and sizes.
