The Mercure Cardiff is located in the docklands district of Tiger Bay, 3 miles from Cardiff city centre. The location inspired its design, with a copper aesthetic and Welsh love spoons, textiles and miners hats displayed. The hotel is easily accessible by road, with the M4 close by and on-site parking available. We have 11 meeting rooms for business conferences and a gym for exercising. Many local attractions are nearby, including Cardiff Castle, ICC Wales, the Royal Mint and Principality Stadium.
