Hotel Penzance

About Hotel Penzance

Hotel Penzance occupies a converted Edwardian merchant's house on Britons Hill, a short walk above the harbour and railway station, with many of its rooms looking straight out over Mount's Bay to St Michael's Mount. The building has kept much of its original character, from high ceilings to period fireplaces, while the rooms themselves have a contemporary, uncluttered feel.

The hotel's restaurant has built a strong local reputation, drawing on fish and shellfish landed at nearby Newlyn and served in a dining room and terrace that share the same sea views as the bedrooms above. A small subtropical garden runs down the hillside, sheltered enough for palms and other exotics to thrive.

It suits visitors who want a proper hotel experience, with restaurant and bar on site, while remaining an easy walk from the station, harbour and Chapel Street, making it a practical choice for a car-free break in West Cornwall.
