back to the 17th Century and has featured remarkably in many of the important
events of the United Kingdom's History.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#000000" face="Book Antiqua">In its long history, The
Union has provided accommodation for Royalty, Prime Ministers and great artistes
but all travelers 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 to be one of the finest streets in Cornwall. 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.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Book Antiqua" color="#000000">During the
short-lived invasion of the Spanish in July 1595, the hotel was attacked and
set on fire. Marks from the fire are still visible on the walls of the bar today.
In 1786/7, a theatre was built in the hotel grounds which is still standing,
making it the second oldest theatre building in the country. At about the same
time, the Penzance Assembly Rooms were built in the grounds and the hotel became
the centre of life in the town and the venue for public meetings, balls and
soirées. It was at one such ball in 1805, that the mayor, Thomas Giddy, announced
the great victory at the Battle of Trafalgar and Nelson's death. Penzance was
the first town in the country to hear this momentous news and the event is commemorated
annually with a Trafalgar Ball held in the same assembly rooms - now the hotel
dining room.</font></p>

dating back to 1787. </font></p>
