An impressive building, luxe interiors and 2 AA Rosette dining are a winning formula at Truro’s only 4-star hotel – the perfect base for a relaxed city break.

The Alverton Hotel‘s grade II listed, Victorian-Gothic has ivy-covered walls, arched windows and bell tower evoke the building’s history, while inside, elegant original features combine with contemporary styling.

Each of The Alverton’s 53 rooms is individually designed with comfort in mind. Sumptuous suites feature bespoke furnishings, roll-top baths and designer touches; the simpler classic doubles maintain the hotel’s standards of superlative comfort and style.

The 15 newer rooms can be found in the luxurious courtyard development, completed in 2016 and set in peaceful gardens, a short distance from the main hotel building.

A tranquil and refined spot for lunch, afternoon tea with the girls or a special dinner, The Alverton’s popular restaurant serves up excellent, contemporary British cuisine. And overnight guests can expect a breakfast to remember, frequently remarked upon in the hotel’s many rave reviews.

The Alverton is also one of Truro’s best party venues and an ideal choice for a stylish city wedding, with four event spaces and rambling private gardens, and the hotel hosts events regularly across the year. Highlights for 2024 include the 40 year Ruby Ball celebration in September, as well as Lobster on the Lawn and regular theatre shows.
