Porthmadog's Premier Hotel ~
|
 The Royal Sportsman Hotel |
|
 |
|
Over
the last ten years, after a previous decade of neglect, its present owners
have slowly but extensively refurbished the hotel throughout with support
from the Wales Tourist Board and Gwynedd Council, without losing its character
and charm. The new house style was completed in 2007 although investment
to improve the customer experience is always on-going. It is once again
the quality hotel it used to be. |
The
main part of this Victorian Hotel was built in 1862 followed by the addition
of the restaurant in the 1920's and patio garden rooms in the mid 1960's.
The physical structure of the Hotel was built using local Blaenau Ffestiniog
slate which is still visible from the outside. Many of the original features,
particularly the stone and slate fireplaces in Gelert's Bar and Lorenzo's
Coffee Lounge, have been restored. |
The
Hotel was originally built to be the main staging post in the area since
the Cambrian Railway did not arrive in Porthmadog until 1867. However,
it soon became famous for its own liveried carriage and horses, stabled
in what is now the garage, taking customers from the Hotel to their holiday
destinations. Photos of the harbour, slate trains, tall masted ships and
hotel are found in Gelert's bar. |
It
is located in the centre of Porthmadog at the quieter end of the High
Street-a town often described as the "Gateway to Snowdonia"
where sea, beaches, town and magnificent countryside come together. |
Porthmadog
is the perfect location and base from which you can explore the Cambrian
Coast, the Llyn Peninsula, the entire Snowdonia National Park
and Anglesey. |

"I
examined the meager stock of local hotels with some care. I felt entitled
to a spell of comfort and luxury after my night in a cheerless Llandudno
guesthouse and I chose an inn called the Royal Sportsman..."
