Overview

Co-owned by Hollywood’s John Malkovich, The Big Sleep Cardiff opened in 1999 and was described by the Travel Trade Gazette as ‘The UK's first design hotel for budget travellers - Travelodge prices – but with more sex appeal’. Located just five minutes’ walk from Cardiff Central station, it’s the hotel of choice for a stag do with style and is well equipped to accommodate you and the boys. The cool interiors set a hip tone for your stay and many of the 81 contemporary bedrooms boast panoramic city views. There’s a stylish Lobby Bar, which is open 24 hours for residents, so your party nights can last as long as the last man standing - you can also get snacks in the bar whenever you’re feeling peckish.

Just opposite the hotel is the Motorpoint Arena, the city’s largest entertainment venue, while a ten-minute taxi ride will take you to Mermaid Quay, where you can sink a few beers whilst looking over the bay.
