Fodor's Expert Review The Coal Exchange Hotel

Mount Stuart Sq., Cardiff, Cardiff, CF10 5FQ, Wales

Formerly the Coal Exchange, where it is said the world's first £1 million deal was struck in 1901, this building has now been turned into luxury lodging. The public areas and their wood paneling are magnificent, especially the trading floor which is now a stylish restaurant, Culley's Kitchen & Bar, which serves beautifully presented dishes made with local produce.
