A warm welcome to The Imperial Tenby Hotel...

Tenby is a special town, big enough for a good range of things to do and a great choice of bars and restaurants, but small enough to be charming and intimate.

Built into the old town walls, the Imperial has recently undergone a large refurbishment giving it a beautiful new restaurant and lounge with stunning views across the beach and sea to St Catherine’s Fort.

If an early evening drink takes your fancy, our patio terrace will take some beating, set directly above the beach and sea, and it gets the late evening sun right until it sets in the west – perfect after a busy day’s sightseeing. The refurbishment means we now offer some stunning Premier and Superior rooms, for special breaks.

Peter's signature.

Local Attractions

The main pull for many is the stunning beaches, here in Tenby and nearby at Stepaside, Amroth and Saundersfoot. A visit to the beautiful St David's Cathedral is inspiring, whilst Colby Woodland Gardens or the Botanical Gardens of Wales are well worth a visit.

  • St David's Cathedral
  • Carew market
  • Seal Spotting
  • Botanical Gardens of Wales

Local Insight

13 years ago I moved here to work here for a month and I am still here! I think the main pull for me is the sea and the beaches, here in Tenby and nearby at Saundersfoot, Stepaside and Amroth. In my opinion, they are some of the best in the UK. I never tire of the boat trip across to Caldey Island, home to the monks, or a trip out seal spotting. A visit to the beautiful St David’s Cathedral still inspires me.

The tranquillity of Colby Woodland Gardens or the grander Botanical Gardens of Wales are both well worth a visit.

Lovely Wekend Break

Just returned from a lovely weekend in Tenby, 10 of us stayed at The Imperial and had a fabulous time... Our room was great, it was a lot bigger than the rest of our friends & our view was outstanding, huge window which enabled us to see the Sea from our bed. I think the Hotel has just undergone a refurbishment, Bars, lounge Restaurant are lovely, really can’t say anything negative about it. Staff very helpful - Thank you to Roma for putting up with our endless requests for extra Toast... :-)

Imperial Hotel Review

We really enjoyed our stay at the Imperial Hotel. We had superior room with fantastic views of the sea. The staff were all very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to returning again and made enquiries about New Year and thought the price very reasonable. Lastly the food was delicious, well cooked and perfectly presented.

Thank you for Nanny’s 100th

We had a wonderful holiday at the Imperial in July 2011. Peter the manger was so helpful and jolly. The flowers for Nanny were such a special touch. Our room was very big, clean and with a view to remember! The views from the hotel dining room are wonderful. The staff are very friendly, caring and obliging. Phoebe 8, Izzy 6, Nanny 100 all say see you soon!! Tenby and the surrounding beaches are magical. With or without Harry Potter!!! Thank you again. Vicky Cook and family. From North Wales. X

Praise and Thanks

We recently had a short break holiday at the Imperial. We were given room 41, a very pleasant room with a view over the town, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The dining room, with lovely sea views, and bar were well organised and the food was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly Angelique, Sophie and Phil, when my wife had an accident in the street and broke her arm. We shall be more than happy to recommend the Imperial to any future guests.

New Year Break

Have just come back from a New Year's 3 day break. The staff were fantastic very helpful and polite, the food you couldn't fault it was fabulous, and the entertainer Ian on New Year’s Eve was brilliant!!! My only gripe was our room it was very dated and the windows need replacing as they didn't shut properly, the bathroom needs attention as well.

What a truly amazing hotel

This was a belated birthday stay. From the moment we arrived we were delighted! Sophie on reception was helpful and pleasant and when we arrived in our room we were greeted by a room practically the size of our downstairs at home, with a private balcony overlooking the beach and stunning views of St Catherine's and Caldy Island. We had a very large bathroom with a super power shower and bath. The four poster bed was huge and comfortable. We also had a sofa, coffee table and a dressing table.

OK Stay

We returned from our trip on 6th April, having booked a premier room with sea view for four nights. Parking in Tenby is difficult and we paid £20 to park at the Rectory field’s car park. Getting one large case to our room was difficult, going up in the lift meant we then had to go down steep stairs. There are a lot of elderly people staying at the hotel, that is not a problem, but I did wonder how they got their cases to their room, I struggled and I am in my mid forties! Our room was lovely and big, and had a balcony we could sit on, although the cheap garden bench was in danger of breaking. There was a patio area outside/below which was overgrown with weeds and had broken tiles, and an unloved looking wooden staircase, this was also visible from the upper bar area. Inside the room the four poster bed looked promising, although closer examination revealed very weak loose joints, not good for a romantic week away! The bathroom was nice, but had blackening in the grout and sealant in the shower cubicle. In the bedroom there was a hairgrip on the carpet and excessive dust build-up next to skirting boards/corners. The floor was incredibly bouncy, and baby upstairs made its presence felt, though I wear earplugs when away, so not too much of a problem. Overall we liked the room. I echo other's comments about helpful staff, and the good but basic menu. We did not pay extra for Steak as I felt the premium was too high. I was interested to read of the other reviewers sickness, as I was forced to use both toilet and adjacent bath at the same time just after midnight one night! You may be surprised that we did actually like our stay, I will send my comments to the hotel.

Thanks

Many thanks to the Management and staff of the Imperial. My husband was suddenly taken ill on the last day of our stay and even though we had just checked out the staff took the time to arrange that our luggage was stored while I accompanied my husband to hospital. On my return they had arranged for a complimentary room for me for that night. Their kindness and care made a stressful situation much easier to cope with.
