Cardiff’s most luxurious hotel to be opened by the Welsh Rugby Union

The Welsh Rugby Union has acquired a building next to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff to transform it into “Cardiff’s most luxurious hotel”.

The former Post Office building on Westgate Street is one of the oldest buildings in the Welsh capital and plans are in place to relaunch it as the Westgate hotel by December 2020.

The property will feature 165 bedrooms, 15 VIP suites, two restaurants, a rooftop spa with outside jacuzzi, as well as meeting facilities and a ballroom for 400 guests. Subject to planning and listed building consent, construction work will begin in the summer.
