Scene
Straightforward, modern hotel in a stunning waterfront setting
The
exterior of the hotel is an modern mix of white render and timber, helping it blend in well with the waterside surroundings. The sound of the water and the herring gulls give the
property a relaxed feel as soon as guests arrive, as the hotel's position right on Conwy Estuary means there is no traffic around. The
entrance to the hotel has a smart and classy feel, with a polished marble
floor, black grand piano, and large floral arrangement in the lobby.
Nautical-themed artwork dots the space, and there is comfortable
seating near the wooden reception desk. To add to the calm vibe, the hotel's courtyard is a Zen-inspired garden. There are water features, stone Buddhas, and perfectly manicured Bonsai trees. The hotel is popular with
both tourists and some business guests. It also attracts plenty of wedding
parties as the stunning estuary backdrop and the Castle make for great
photos. Locals flock here too for the
afternoon tea and to dine in the restaurant in the evening.
Location
Quiet coastal location near two train stations
The
hotel occupies a unique position on the Conwy Estuary that has stunning views
across to Conwy Castle, which looks particularly breathtaking when lit up at
night. It’s a quiet coastal location, with a residential area on one side of
the hotel, and a boat yard on the other. There's nothing in the
immediate area, but most guests come for the views and to get away from the clamor of everyday life.
The hotel is easy to reach, though, as Llandudno Junction train station -- which has
direct links from London, Chester, Manchester, and Cardiff -- is just a two-minute
drive away. It’s also an eight-minute walk from the Deganwy train station. Reaching the 13th-century Conwy Castle takes around eight-minutes by car. The Victorian
resort town of Llandudno is a 10-minute drive from the hotel, and Snowdonia National Park is a
45-minute drive. The nearest airport is Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which takes
an hour and 20 minutes to reach by car.
Rooms
Quiet, spacious, and bright rooms -- many with balconies and castle views
The
74 guest rooms at the Quay Hotel and Spa are bright and spacious and decorated
in earth tones with warm cherry wood furniture. The style is neutral through and through, and can even seem a bit bland, with beige patterned carpets and generic landscape wall art, though they are comfortable and inviting. Room categories are Classic,
Superior, and Executive, and Suites, and Penthouses are also available. Each
room has a flat-screen TV, free mineral water, a
coffeemaker, safe, Egyptian cotton linens, and free Wi-Fi. They all have a spacious
and modern en-suite bathrooms as well with luxurious toiletries in higher category rooms. Superior Rooms have
views over Deganwy Marina where the boats are moored, and many of them have
balconies too. Executive Rooms have fantastic views over the Conwy Estuary
towards Conwy Castle. Most have either a private balcony or terrace plus a
small seating area within the room. Suites also look out over the Estuary
towards the Castle and have a large living area with two sofas and an
additional TV. There are also four Penthouses, which have an abundance of space and are a tad more romantic, with in-room Champagne and sweets. They have stunning views of the Castle, two large
flat-screen TVs, a soundsystem with iPod dock and digital
radio, Nespresso coffee machine, and two of them have whirlpool baths with built-in TVs. All four Penthouses also have furnished balconies.
Features
Full-service spa with indoor pool and an excellent restaurant

warmer weather, food is served outside on the waterfront and the restaurant has a
separate children's menu. There’s also a bar which has an extensive wine
list as well as beers and spirits. Food and drinks are also available via 24-hour
