Radisson Blu Hotel, Cardiff

Views and rooms

Height is the selling point here: the tower gives rooms and the terrace wide views across the city skyline. There are 215 rooms and suites, and a fitness area for guests. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out at noon, a little later than many city hotels. Check-in and check-out times suit late arrivals off the train and anyone wanting a slower final morning. Limited on-site parking is available for a daily charge if you're driving in, but space is tight, so the train is the easier option.

Food and drink

Glas Bar & Lounge serves British and continental dishes through the day. For something more celebratory there's the Terrace by Pommery, with sparkling wine and city views, and a Champagne Lounge by Pommery. It's worth a drink even if you're staying elsewhere.

Location and events

Bute Terrace sits on the southern side of the city centre, roughly 350 metres from Cardiff Central, with St Mary Street, the shopping arcades and the stadium all within walking distance. Six meeting rooms take up to 460 delegates in total, the largest seating 300, so it's also a regular conference venue.
