About The Angel Hotel
Situated in the heart of the bustling market town of Abergavenny, the Angel Hotel was established as a coaching inn on the road between London and Fishguard in the 18th Century. Over the years, the hotel has seen many changes in ownership, each of which put its own stamp on the grand Georgian building. In 2002, the hotel was taken over by a local family who have spent the last 14 years carefully and lovingly bringing the tired old building back to its former glory, whilst creating a contemporary and distinctive identity.
The residents of Abergavenny have seen the hotel transform into a bright, elegant hub, very much in the center of community. All public areas and guestrooms have been stylishly renovated and the hotel now encompasses many beautiful areas, where people come regularly, to enjoy a meal, drink or stay. The level of Food & Beverage trade through the bar, afternoon tea room and restaurant has gone from strength to strength and is now a huge component of the business.
Why it’s a winner:
“This hotel impresses on many counts. Physically there has been a complete transformation, with smart public areas offering high levels of comfort and style. Using a local art shop, décor is specific to this property and further enhanced with a great number of local art works. The team here strive to surpass expectations from the minute you walk through the door to ensure every guest leaves with a positive impression.” – AA Inspector
