Artist Residence Penzance

About Artist Residence Penzance

Artist Residence Penzance is set in a Georgian house and coach yard on Chapel Street, the oldest and most characterful part of town, a few doors from the Egyptian House and the old harbour. Each of its rooms and apartments has been individually decorated, often with work by local artists, in keeping with the group's reputation for playful, design-led interiors rather than uniform hotel finish.

The Clubhouse restaurant and bar downstairs runs as an all-day operation, serving smoked meats, Cornish fish and seafood alongside cocktails and local ales, and doubles as a social hub for guests and locals alike. The building's history as a coaching inn is still evident in its yard and outbuildings, now used for extra rooms and a relaxed courtyard seating area.

Its Chapel Street position puts galleries, antique shops and the harbour on the doorstep, making it a strong choice for visitors who want to be in the thick of the old town rather than out on the seafront.
