The Kensington Hotel is a beautifully preserved Victorian seafront hotel in llandudno, perfectly situated on the central promenade, offering breathtaking views of the Great Orme and Llandudno Bay. As one of Llandudno’s longest-standing promenade hotels, it’s a natural choice for anyone looking for a classic seaside stay on the North Wales coast — whether that’s a relaxing sea view break, a family holiday, or a group visit that needs extra space to gather.
Owned and run by the Beardmore family for the past 30 years, the Kensington Hotel is known throughout Llandudno for its warm welcome, friendly atmosphere and attentive service. The experienced team looks after private guests and group parties alike, and many return year after year for the hotel’s home-cooked cuisine and genuine hospitality.
The hotel offers 50 elegantly refurbished en-suite rooms, each finished with tasteful, comfortable decor and fitted with LCD TVs, telephones and hospitality trays. Guests booking a First or Second Floor Sea View Room wake up to panoramic views over Llandudno’s Victorian promenade and headlands — some of the best sea views available at a hotel in Llandudno. Rooms are serviced daily and designed with both couples and families in mind, with a mix of double, twin and family room configurations available on request. A lift serves every floor, so guests with luggage, pushchairs or reduced mobility can reach any room without needing the stairs.
Parking in central Llandudno can be limited and metered, which makes the Kensington Hotel’s private car park one of its most valued features. The hotel has its own car park to the rear of the building, reserved for hotel guests, so there’s no need to hunt for street parking or pay separately at a public car park nearby. Guests who book directly with the hotel are guaranteed access to this parking for the length of their stay, making it easy to arrive, unload, and start enjoying the seafront without the usual holiday-parking hassle.
Alongside its guest rooms, the Kensington Hotel is home to a period ballroom that brings a touch of Victorian grandeur to weddings, celebrations and group functions in Llandudno. With high ceilings and classic seafront-hotel character, the ballroom offers a memorable setting for wedding receptions, birthday and anniversary parties, live entertainment evenings, and coach party group meals, all supported by the hotel’s experienced events and catering team. Its central promenade location means guests and visiting family can walk straight from their sea view room to the celebration, and out again to enjoy the Llandudno seafront the next morning
