The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel has a long and storied history of welcoming guests in style and comfort. Originally established in 1819 as a coaching inn, this historic venue was the first to link the Gorsedd of Bards with an Eisteddfod. With roots that date back to the 18th century, the hotel has been a staple of Carmarthen culture, with a rich history that includes visits from luminaries Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. This historic hotel harmoniously combines traditional elegance with contemporary conveniences, playing an important role in Welsh culture. We invite you to visit our history page for more information.

Spanning 1. 5 acres, the hotel holds an elegant lounge area known as the ‘Y Terrace’. The lounge features our exquisite ‘Proverb’ stained glass window, which casts a breathtaking array of colorful light throughout the space. The hotel is also home to an established restaurant, a well-stocked bar, a spacious patio, and private event spaces. These facilities are designed to serve both the local community and businesses, accommodating everything from small board meetings to large-scale events.
