Frommer's Review

This elegant Victorian hotel across from Cardiff Castle and has regained some of its old prestige following a restoration in 2000. When it was first built, it was the place to stay in South Wales. Over the years it has attracted everybody from Garbo to the Beatles to every prime minister of Britain. There is no way it will ever 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 -- 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 ranging from standard (the smallest) to deluxe (spacious and superior in every way).

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar and lounge; 24-hr. room service; babysitting
