In August 1999 my daughter visited Cardiff and had a two night stay in The Angel Hotel,which is opposite Cardiff Castle and close to the city centre and the sparkling new Millennium Stadium.This hotel is steeped in history for its origins go back to 1666,which makes it the oldest and most famous hotel in town. The place has been skilfully modernised but managed to retain its gracious decor and furnishings to make for a very relaxing stay. The elegant,well equipped,en suite guest rooms have all the modern creature comforts : satellite TV,tea/coffee making facilities, a spacious bathroom,bath robes,bathroom slippers and there was even a bowl of fruit awaiting us. Thehotel has a marvellous foyer with a glittering Waterford chandelier.The elegant yet informal restaurant served up a super breakfast,there were also fresh fruits,seven choices of fruit juice,yogurt and a wide choice of cereals.The two evening meals were gourmet affairs with tasty soups,beautifully prepared entrees,I really loved the seafood mix of Cornish halibut and Scottish salmon, and the next night my Lamb Shank was braised to perfection. There were yummy desserts like berries of the forest terrine,great coffee and a good list of wines. We pre-booked through the Internet and got a rate well below the rack rate. We were on a Leisure Break package which cost only 39.50 pounds ,per person,per night, including breakfast and dinner.You can also book bed and breakfast only,but then you will miss the delectable dinners and a great dining experience in glittering elegance.
