A fine Georgian hotel steeped in character, including the Nelson Bar.

Situated in the heart of Penzance, on what is considered architecturally to be one of the finest streets in Cornwall, the Union Hotel dates back to the 17th Century and has featured remarkably in many of the important events of the United Kingdom’s History.

The Union Hotel prides itself on its reputation for retaining yesterday’s standards in today’s modern world. You will find crisp white sheets, fluffy white towels and above all a high standard of care and courtesy from the resident proprietors and their staff.

With the atmospheric Nelson's bar, a beautiful Georgian lounge and ballroom, the Victorian Theatre Bar with its extraordinary 18th and 19th century playbills, our restauraunt, Hamilton's, and collection of original art, the Union Hotel is truly different.

Large comfortable bars and a separate restaurant form part of this old hotel, which has had a role in the history and commerce of Penzance since the 16th century. Families are welcome; the parking space at the rear is limited.
