Located within a stone’s throw of the Principality Stadium, The Parkgate Hotel is the finest luxury destination in the city centre of Cardiff.
Opened in October 2021 following a two-year redevelopment, the 170-bedroom hotel combines stylish innovation with the elegance of yesteryear, breathing new life into two of the city centre’s most historic buildings – the former Head Post Office and the old County Court.
Embracing a chic blend of classic-meets-contemporary luxury, each room and suite is styled around its own unique features. With a Four Silver Stars rating from the AA, the Parkgate is the highest-rated hotel in Cardiff city centre and was also judged Hotel of the Year for Wales at the AA Hospitality Awards 2024-25.
Managed by The Celtic Collection in partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union, the Parkgate Hotel is a significant addition to the celebrated rugby international matchday experience.
Helping spectators make a real weekend of it, the Parkgate Hotel offers luxury accommodation on the doorstep of Principality Stadium and exclusive access to premium hospitality packages for the Guinness Six Nations and Autumn Nations Series, as well as providing the ideal base for concerts from artists like Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Oasis over the last two years.
Spa Serenity
Winner of the Style of the City Award for Hotel Spa of the Year in 2025, the rooftop spa at the Parkgate Hotel provides an escape from the world in a stunning boutique setting.
The spa enjoys a 5-bubble rating from the Good Spa Guide and is one of the city’s most exclusive wellness destinations. With unrivalled panoramic views of the stunning city skyline, four elegant treatment rooms provide a sanctuary to unwind while the thermal suite and hydrotherapy infinity pool offers the ultimate relaxation experience.
Visitors can enjoy the finest luxury treatments from British skincare brands OSKIA and TEMPLESPA, with therapists ensuring that every treatment is prescribed and personalised to guests’ individual needs.
The new collaboration with OSKIA reflects a shared sense of Welsh identity as the independent brand makes all its products in Wales, so is a natural fit for The Parkgate Hotel’s deep Welsh roots.
With OSKIA’s signature blend of science and natural ingredients, spa-goers can indulge in treatments rooted in advanced skin nutrition and powered by the finest bio-tech ingredients.
Dining Delights
The hotel’s Sorting Room restaurant is a high-quality addition to Cardiff’s culinary scene. With a Michelin Guide listing and 2 AA rosettes, The Sorting Room echoes the rich heritage of its setting. Amidst glittering chandeliers and plush leather sofas, diners can enjoy leisurely lunches, showstopping dinners and a selection of fine wines, Brecon craft beers and signature cocktails.
The British menu showcases the best of Welsh produce, with Welsh Beef Wellington, Trio of Welsh Lamb, and Hand Crafted Vegetable and Welsh Cheese Pie just a few of the tantalising highlights on the a la carte menu. An elegant lobby and the Cwrt Lounge and Terrace also offer fantastic settings for indulgent afternoon teas and the Sorting Room Bar offers sumptuous cocktails and refreshing pints for gatherings with friends.
Marvellous Meetings
The hotel is also home to some of the largest and best meeting spaces in the city centre, attracting new events, conferences, and corporate hospitality to Cardiff. These include the versatile Postmaster Suite, holding up to 432 people, and the more intimate Telegraph Room, an elegant private dining or meeting space for up to 50 people with an open view to the theatre kitchen.
In 2025, a new boardroom meeting space was unveiled, The Mail Room, perfect for smaller team meetings, presentations, and workshops as well as a breakout space to complement the Postmaster Suite.
