In its long history, The Union has provided accommodation for Royalty, Prime Ministers and great artistes but all travellers have been assured of a good meal, a hot bath and a comfortable bed.

The hotel occupies a prime position in the centre of Penzance, in what is considered architecturally to be one of the finest streets in Cornwall. Open all year round the hotel has its own undercover car park for guests, including those staying in the Isles of Scilly and is close to the harbour, railway and coach station. It's an ideal base from which to explore the beauty of South Cornwall and the Land's End Peninsula.

The hotel has been discretly modernised whilst retaining its traditional theme. All of its 28 bedrooms have central heating, colour television, radio, direct dial telephone, child listening and tea and coffee making facilities. Most of the rooms are en-suite and many have superb sea views across Mount's Bay. A traditional full English breakfast is served each morning in the beautifully restored Trafalgar Dining Room, reputed to be the finest example of a Georgian Assembly Room in Cornwall. Another beautiful Georgian roomis our lounge which has also been fully restored and is ideal for reading or writing in comfort or as a perfect venue for meeting with friends.

Dinner is normally served in the Hamilton's restaurant, where we offer excellent cuisine - home made soups, roast meats and fresh vegetables and fish from nearby Newlyn. An excellent range of bar food is available from The Nelson Bar where you can sit in comfort surrounded by a fascinating collection of Nelson Prints. Our Theatre Bar, patronised by Charles Dickens during his stay at the hotel, is agenuine Victorian Bar featuring an interesting collection of playbills from the hotel's theatre dating back to 1787.

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.
