The Celtic Collection has added two additional properties into its portfolio, St Brides Spa Hotel, and Tŷ Newport, making it Wales’ largest independent hotel group.
The Celtic Collection, which includes the Celtic Manor Resort and The Parkgate Hotel in Cardiff, has secured the contract for St Brides Spa Hotel, a 34-room hotel overlooking Saundersfoot in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and has officially opened the new 146-bed Tŷ Hotel Newport. The new hotels increase the Collection’s bed stock to 1,129 rooms and 10 luxury lodges, providing a boost to the infrastructure required for organisations to host large-scale events in Wales.
Tŷ Newport is located next to Coldra Court Hotel, creating a residential event complex, which together are a short 15-minute walk from The Celtic Manor Resort and ICC Wales. Coldra Court Hotel offers a total of four conferencing rooms and six meeting rooms, with the largest accommodating 300 delegates. ICC Wales, which features a 1,500-seat auditorium and 4,000sqm of pillar-free exhibition space, hosted the Royal College of Nurses in June 2024.
St Brides Spa Hotel, which came under The Celtic Collection management in May, features individually styled sea view bedrooms, an award-winning spa and The Cliff Restaurant and Gallery Bar which offer views across the bay.
A range of flexible meeting rooms include three versatile and light-filled conference rooms which are ideal for boardroom meetings, theatre style presentations, networking events and dinners, and can accommodate from 14 to 100 attendees.
The Celtic Collection now comprises of ten hotels and resorts in total with almost 1,200 bedrooms as well as 14 restaurants, more than 50 meetings and events spaces, three championship golf courses and four health clubs and spas.
Ian Edwards, CEO, The Celtic Collection said: “We’re delighted to bring these two exciting additions into The Celtic Collection, and they underline our ambitions to keep expanding as the largest independent hotel operator in Wales.
“The launch of Tŷ Newport and the acquisition of St Brides Spa Hotel will further strengthen South Wales’ meetings and events offering and cement its position as a sought-after destination for national and international delegates and tourists alike.”
