Welcome To The Regent Hotel, St. Ives, Cornwall

The Regent, run by Keith and Sandi Varnals, is a small comfortable hotel in the centre of town, enjoying spectacular views over St. Ives Bay and harbour. All our bedrooms have colour TV, tea and coffee making facilities, radio alarm clocks, hairdryers and most rooms enjoy a view.

The Regent Hotel, a former sea captains house, was converted to a hotel in 1926 by the well known local architect Frank Nicholls and has been running continuously as such ever since.

The Hotel has been in the Varnals family for some 30 years and has been tastefully modernised with all the double and twin rooms offering full en-suite facilities and of course the unique views that only the Regent Hotel can offer. We also offer town centre car parking space for every guest.

The Regent Facilities

The Regent is a small comfortable hotel in the centre of St. Ives close to bus, coach and rail stations. If you wish we can arrange for coach trips or a chauffeured motor car. We can also arrange self-drive car hire from a reputable local firm.

The Regent Hotel can offer a very comfortable Residents Lounge and a Dining Room complete with Breakfast Buffet facilities. As well as our Breakfast Buffet we serve a wide selection of cooked items which include: English, Vegetarian, Continental & Fish. Our Fish & Bacon are local products delicately Oak smoked.

We also offer you the choice of real Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte or Cafeteria Coffee. Plus a selection of Teas or Hot Chocolate.

St. Ives & Surrounding Area

St Ives has much to offer those of you who enjoy shopping, with Penzance and Truro a little further afield. St Ives also houses the St Ives Tate Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and has been a haven for artists, drawn by the beautiful Cornish scenery. We have a very romantic county with amazing sunsets and sunrises (if you want to get up early enough!), the ever restless seas, heathered moorlands and a myriad of cosy restaurants and pubs - so please consider coming to Cornwall for your honeymoon, unless of course you want to get married here as well!

The sands, the sea, the artists, the little streets and gorgeous harbour scene, all combine to delight the holidaymakers in this magnificent Mediterranean - style resort.

Arriving by road or by rail along the delightful scenic branch line the first sight of St. Ives with the sun on the water is breathtaking. The panoramic vista of this resort is quite magnificent revealing a town ringed by glorious beaches and surrounded by a turquoise sea. Life revolves around the harbour and the fishing trade that helped it grow to prosperity.

The Varnals family look forward to meeting you should you choose to visit us here at The Regent Hotel St Ives. Please visit our main web site for full details. Thank you.
