DISCOVER SOUTH WALES WITH THE

Marriott Hotel Group
South Wales is the perfect destination for those seeking some diversity over their summer holiday;
with visitors able to choose between the perfect city break in Cardiff or beautiful coastal walks
and countryside escapes in the Gower Peninsula or glorious Wye Valley. The good news is that
the Marriott Hotel Group has a suitable hotel for all enthusiasts.

Cracking Cardiff
The Welsh capital of Cardiff is the proud home
of Welsh Rugby, with the Millennium Stadium
found right in the centre. The city’s glorious past
can be seen in Cardiff Castle, which offers a
historical insight to bygone eras, from a Roman
Fort to the once-bustling coal trade. Cardiff is
perfect for a city break; it's a fantastic shopping
destination with beautiful arcades, and St David’s
Shopping Centre boasts the largest John Lewis
outside of London.
Here, you can combine an adventurous
city break with a journey into the Brecon Beacons,
offering breathtaking walks and scenery just 45
minutes from Cardiff by car.

Magnificent Monmouthshire
On the gateway to South Wales lies St Pierre,
Marriott Hotel and Country Club – the perfect
location from which to explore the glorious Welsh
countryside. The 14th-century manor is set in
400 acres of picturesque parkland in the rolling
hills of the Wye Valley, offering a rich history and
stunning location for a perfect holiday in its own
right; but with easy access to Cardiff and Bristol
should guests wish to explore some city living.
With first-class leisure facilities, beauty rooms,
and two excellent restaurants, St Pierre is also
one of the top UK golfing destinations and boasts
two courses – the oldest of which has played
host to a succession of international golf
tournaments.

Sizzling Swansea
Swansea Bay’s sweeping waterfront is home to
its own National Museum, which celebrates
industrial and maritime Wales as far back as the
1800s. Enjoy beautiful walking trails along the
Gower Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty that stretches for miles. Rent some bikes
or bring your own for a peaceful cycle along the
promenade down to Mumbles – home of the
famous Oyster Festival – and enjoy an ice cream
on the pier. Swansea is the birthplace of literary
great, Dylan Thomas, and there’s a centre
celebrating his life that draws visitors from around
the world. With an indoor rainforest, bowling alley
and cinemas just moments away, you will certainly
never be stumped for things to do!

The three locations are easily explored while staying at a nearby Marriott Hotel, and with fantastic summer deals, including bed,
breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking, and a £40 food and beverage voucher, Marriott has your summer holiday covered!
