The Grand Hotel Swansea has been a landmark hotel since the 1930’s largely due to its ideal location and unique design. In 2004 the hotel was subject to a complete re-furbishment and re-opened as one of Swansea leading independent hotels offering 4 plus service and facilities. In August 2007 the hotel came under the control of a locally based management company with General Manager Tom Bates releasing details of a second re-furbishment and improvements to its facilities.
