The Falmouth Hotel
Falmouth, United Kingdom
The Falmouth Hotel is a Victorian hotel located on the seafront in Falmouth, Cornwall, overlooking Castle Beach. As the first purpose-built hotel in Falmouth, it opened on 9 May 1865 to provide to tourists due to the new railway station being linked nearby. It is located next to the Royal Duchy Hotel. The foundation stone was laid on 6 August 1863, by Robert Tweedy and it cost about £9000. Additions were added in 1880, 1898 and 1972. The hotel has 71 rooms and is set in 5 acres (2.0 ha) of landscaped gardens. In May 2024, the hotel was acquired by The Cornwall Hotel Collection, returning the landmark to local ownership alongside sister properties The Greenbank, The Alverton, and The Atlantic. Previously, the hotel had been owned by the Richardson Group since 2005.
