Hotel Cardiff
Cardiff is the largest city and capital of Wales as well as its cultural, political and financial centre. Started off as a small town, in the 20th century Cardiff established its position as a major port for the shipping of coal. This development triggered Cardiff’s growth into a big city.
Today Cardiff is Wales’ finances and services center and has developed into a major touristic city. Its main sights include Cardiff Castle, Cathays Park, the Millennium Stadium, the building of the National Assembly for Wales and the Cardiff Bay area. Traditionally sports play an important role in the life of the city and also bring revenues to the city’s budget.
Finding a hotel in Cardiff
If we consider the fact that the city has on offer a selection of almost 9000 bed spaces, when looking for a hotel in Cardiff one is spoilt for choice. Perhaps two of the best places to look for your hotel in Cardiff are the Cardiff Castle area and Pen-Hill Road. Riverside and Newport Road are two other areas where one is likely to find some of the finest hotels in Cardiff. However, not all hotels in Cardiff are located in the city’s civic centre; the Canton district, situated west of the centre displays a fair number of accommodation options. Not least, those interested in Cardiff’s shopping venues should opt for a hotel located in Cardiff’s centre around the Queen Street and St. Mary’s Street. Overall Cardiff is a tourist-friendly city and one of Britain’s most popular destinations. The 11 million visitors Cardiff receives every year are certain to confirm that.
