About Us
Seafront Hotel In Llandudno
We’re proud to occupy one of the finest positions on Llandudno’s central promenade, our classic Victorian façade looking straight out over the bay towards the Great Orme. Our guests wake to sweeping sea views on one side and a mountain backdrop on the other, a rare combination for a hotel so close to the town centre, with its shops, cafes, and pier all just a short stroll away.
We’ve been in the same family’s hands for the past thirty years. Owned by the Beardmores, we’re run day-to-day by a team with many years of hospitality experience between them, and that continuity shows in how we operate, a settled, practised staff rather than a high-turnover one. We welcome both individual holidaymakers and larger group parties, from dance breaks to coach tours, and we have the space and experience to look after both equally well.
What keeps our guests coming back, year after year, isn’t just the location. They tell us it’s the warmth of the welcome, food that’s a genuine cut above what you’d expect from a hotel of this size, and a level of service that feels personal rather than routine. For many, a stay with us has become an annual tradition rather than a one-off visit.

Seaview Rooms
The hotel has 50 en-suite guest rooms newly furnished with luxurious and tasteful decor. All rooms have LCD TV, telephone, and hospitality facilities. First Floor Sea View Bedrooms and Second Floor Sea View Bedrooms enjoy excellent panoramic sea views of the famous promenade and two headlands. A lift provides convenient access to all floors. Guests need not worry about parking as a large private car park can accommodate everyone staying at the hotel which is loacted to the rear of the Hotel.
The Kensington Hotel is conveniently located for all local attractions, dining, bars and entertainment. Venue Cymru Llandudno Theatre and Conference Centre is just a minute walk away. The hotel is an excellent base to explore the many famous attractions in and around Llandudno, Snowdonia and other parts of North Wales.
"We were part of a tour group, and the hotel and its staff exceeded all expectations in all aspects of our stay. We were particularly impressed with meals and the attention the serving staff gave. If you are thinking of staying in Llandudno, it is really worth staying at the Kensington Hotel and enjoy the seaside views."
