The Coal Exchange Hotel in Cardiff

Once the powerhouse of the world's coal trade - and the site of the world's first-ever £1 million deal - The Coal Exchange now stands as one of Cardiff's most iconic hotels. It's bold, characterful, and the ideal HQ for a stags who like to start their weekend in style.

Rooms Fit for Legends

This Grade II* listed gem has been meticulously restored, keeping all its grand original features - high ceilings, rich wood panelling, and dramatic architecture - while adding plush beds, whirlpool spa baths, and sleek modern touches. Each room has its own character, offering something way beyond your average hotel stay.

Eat, Drink & Kickstart the Night
