In the heart of the maritime quarter, an imaginatively modernised hotel in a converted Regency Port Authority building (Grade II* listed). Featuring Welsh produce, the restaurant is in an impressive former boardroom on the first floor (it is open to non-residents from Wednesday evening through to Sunday lunch). Catch major sporting events on the large screen in Morgan’s bar while enjoying a chilled beer, classic cocktail or wines from around the world. The Champagne bar is a sophisticated alternative. Some of the well-equipped modern bedrooms are across a small side road in The Townhouse.  

Opposite the stone cross on the square, a relaxed, cosy and dog friendly hotel in a well-maintained garden. Comforting dishes in the intimate dining room use locally sourced produce; the bar has an extensive cocktail menu.

A large family-owned hotel built around a commanding landmark – the four-storey octagonal brick Tower built in 1886 as a camera obscura by the hotel’s first owner, brewery magnate Captain Evan Evans. In World War II, the structure was used by US military as a lookout tower. Inside, three luxury suites have panoramic vistas over the Jersey Marine area and Swansea Bay. Other accommodation, a restaurant serving Welsh dishes, and extensive leisure facilities (13-metre indoor pool, sauna, steam room, massages and beauty treatments and a gym) are in white-painted buildings in the grounds. Two bar areas and a terrace are relaxing spaces for a drink or light snack in the evening. Cabaret and tribute acts are held on some weekends.
