17th-Century Historic Hotel with Sea Views in Penzance

Rooms

Many rooms at the Union Hotel offer sea views of Mount's Bay and St Michael's Mount, with traditional decor that matches the building's age. Room types include family rooms, twin rooms, and single rooms, some with sea views. Each room has a private bathroom, central heating, and tea and coffee facilities.

Dining & Entertainment

Hamilton's Restaurant serves homemade dishes using locally sourced ingredients, with a diverse menu that changes regularly. A full English breakfast is served in the Theatre Bar, the same room where Charles Dickens took his meals. Live music performances take place on weekends in Nelson's Bar, and the hotel also hosts evening entertainment.

Location

The hotel sits in the centre of Penzance, a 5-minute walk from the sea and Penzance Promenade Beach. St Michael's Mount is reachable by foot or boat, and the Isles of Scilly ferry terminal is a short walk away. Local eateries, shops, the town's cinema, and theatre are all within a 2-minute walk of the hotel.

Services & Facilities
