Why we love Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa Cardiff

Modern and perfectly located for exploring the city of Cardiff, this hotel and spa has all the makings of a fantastic getaway for a group of friends, those looking to combine a city break with rest and relaxation, or even a work trip with added wellness factor. In the mood for an urban retreat? Let us tell you just a few of the reasons we love Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa Cardiff.

Central city location

One of the first things we have to talk about at Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa Cardiff is the fantastic city location. Moments from Cardiff Central rail station, it's easy to get to and perfectly placed for exploring this buzzy city. One of the hallmarks of a great urban getaway is that it has to make it easy to have a great time and this place definitely delivers on that score.

Modern mentality and design

From the rooms to the wellness facilities, Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa is a modern hotel, so you can depend on its facilities, its style and its service. The glass-fronted building is light, airy and spacious, making it easy to settle in and unwind in laid back style.

An array of wellness facilities

City hotels are not always known for having a lot of space, but Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa has cornered the market in prime real estate, and it shows at its most prominent in the spa and leisure facilities. Complete with an 18-metre pool, a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and state-of-the-art gym, as well as treatment rooms offering therapies from Decleor, the hotel has everything you need to work out and wind down.

Local attractions

Cardiff is a great city to explore, whether you're on a girls' getaway, a trip with your family or having some time to yourself. There's plenty of shopping to be done at large shopping centres and high street favourites, and at its thriving indoor market. However, favourite features are the Victorian and Edwardian arcades, brimming with independent boutiques and cafes. Other top attractions range from Cardiff Castle and the National Museum for history lovers to Cardiff Bay or a show at the Wales Millennium Centre theatre.

Great for groups of friends

While Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa welcomes everyone, it's a particularly great destination for groups of friends. Perhaps you're celebrating a hen party, a birthday, or you simply want to get together for a couple of days. From the spacious pool to the central location and the popular restaurant and lounge bar, it's got the space and the flexibility to make it easy to enjoy quality time together.
