The Coal Exchange

The Coal Exchange is one of Cardiff Bay’s most iconic buildings, combining rich heritage with contemporary comfort. This Grade II* listed landmark once stood at the heart of the global coal trade and was famously the site of the world’s first £1 million business deal.

Today, the building has been carefully restored as a distinctive hotel, retaining its original architectural character while offering modern hospitality. Guests can enjoy elegant interiors, high ceilings, restored wood panelling and period detailing that reflect the building’s historic significance.

Inside, the experience is thoroughly contemporary. Comfortable rooms, refined design, in-room spa baths and thoughtful amenities ensure a relaxing and memorable stay. The Coal Exchange offers a unique opportunity to experience Cardiff Bay’s industrial past within a luxury hotel setting.
