Leonardo Hotel Cardiff

Location

The hotel is at 1 Park Place, at the eastern end of the main shopping streets, close to Cardiff Queen Street station. Cardiff Castle, Bute Park and the Principality Stadium are all within a short walk, and the National Museum is just up the road. Reception is staffed 24 hours. On international rugby days the streets between the hotel and the stadium fill with fans, so book early if your trip coincides with a match. The national museum and civic centre are an easy morning walk.
