Porthmadog's Premier Hotel ~

|
 The Royal Sportsman Hotel |
|
| Since
early 1999, under its present owners, the Hotel has been extensively
refurbished after a decade of neglect. The new house style was completed
in 2006 and once again a quality hotel. |

The main part of this Victorian Hotel was originally built in 1862, with the restaurant and garden rooms added much later on. The Royal Sportsman was the main staging post in the area since the Cambrian Railway did not arrive in Porthmadog until 1867. |
It
was famous for its own liveried carriage and horses, stabled in what is
now the garage, taking customers from the Hotel to their destinations.
Photos are found in Gelert’s bar. |
The
physical structure of the Hotel was built from local Blaenau Ffestiniog
slate, which is still visible from the outside and the many original features,
particularly the stone and slate fireplaces in Gelert’s Bar and
Lorenzo’s Coffee Lounge that have now been restored. |
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..."
