Die besten Hotels in Llandudno

What are the best hotels in Llandudno?

Llandudno is a classic British seaside town, with a long Victorian promenade, a traditional pier full of arcade games and two sandy beaches on either side of its distinctive peninsula. Grand 19th century buildings give the town plenty of character, while the Great Orme and Eryri (Snowdonia) offer fantastic walks nearby. The best places to stay range from colourful, characterful B&Bs to grand historic hotels, but Osborne House Hotel is our top pick. This five-star boutique hotel occupies a Victorian townhouse right on the seafront, with antique-filled rooms, interesting artworks and an excellent location for exploring on foot.

There’s more to Llandudno than beach walks and fish and chips. Take the Great Orme Tramway or cable car up the limestone headland for epic coastal views, explore the fascinating Bronze Age Great Orme Copper Mines, or browse contemporary art at Mostyn. The Victorian pier is still a classic for a stroll, especially towards sunset, while the Home Front Museum offers a glimpse into everyday life during the Second World War. For walkers and cyclists, Eryri National Park is within easy reach, with rugged mountain trails and beautiful scenery. Nearby Conwy is also well worth a visit for its imposing medieval castle and atmospheric old streets.
