Great news, Walesonline reports Celtic Manor to open new hotel on Westgate Street:
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/commercial-property/welsh-rugby-union-behind-luxury-15999568
Plans to turn two of Cardiff's most historic buildings into a new 175 bedroom luxury hotel can be revealed.
The listed old Post Office and adjoining former County Court buildings on Westgate Street in the centre of the capital will be transformed through a new joint venture between the Welsh Rugby Union, financial services giant Legal & General and property development firm Rightacres.
The Portland stone built and now vacant former Post Office building, which was designed by Sir Henry Tanner and opened in 1897 as part of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee celebrations, has been acquired for the project from a London-based investor.
The smaller County Court building, which was constructed in 1904, is already in WRU ownership.
The new hotel, which will maintain and enhance the building's existing listed facades, is expected to be run by the five star Celtic Manor Resort in its first project outside of Newport.
