In an idyllic setting with views across the water to majestic Conwy Castle, The Quay Hotel and Spa is a little piece of escapism in North Wales’s Deganwy Marina. Taking in views across the water to majestic Conwy Castle whilst providing easy access to the surrounding landscape, it's an intrinsically restful retreat. Spend time admiring Snowdon Mountain or visiting Wales' largest seaside resort at Llandudno, taking in the 13th-century castle at Conwy or visiting the extraordinary gardens at Portmeirion.
There's no sense of pretence at The Quay Hotel & Spa in Wales. You're greeted warmly, and stay in contemporary and calm rooms, from the Cosy Cove Room or the Luxury Penthouse. Details are carefully considered, from the H²K toiletries to the decor, and dogs are welcome in many.
The aptly named Ebb and Flow Restaurant once again invites you to enjoy views of the Conwy River and estuary. Don't stand on ceremony as you tuck into local ingredients and popular dishes. For lighter meals there's the Cove Bar, and in the summer months you can eat on the terrace. Spa guests also delight in a dedicated spa dining area, for delicious and nutritious dishes.
The hotel spa is a central part of your stay, hinging on a rejuvenating thermal journey, where a Himalayan salt sauna releases stress and toxins, tired feet are soothed in the foot baths, an infrared sauna and traditional sauna warm the soul, and, the steam room helps you unwind.
After the thermal suite has prepared the mind and body, the spa's collection of therapies is the perfect cherry on top. Using British nutri-cosmetic brand OSKIA, they offer a range of face and body treatments that leave you feeling like the best version of yourself.
