Palace Hotel, The

Torquay's largest and most prestigious 4 star hotel is a luxurious haven of calm and outstanding service at the heart of the English Riviera. Torquay hotels don't get better than this. Comfortable rooms, fabulous gardens, unrivalled hotel leisure facilities and personalised service make this a very special destination.

The location is truly enviable. Tucked away in a quiet wooded valley and surrounded by splendid coastline, the privately owned Devon luxury hotel still echoes the dignity and many of the characteristics of its notable heritage as the home to the Bishop of Exeter.

Just a stone's throw away, the renowned centre of Torquay and its vibrant harbour has something to appeal to everyone. Devon's beaches are unspoilt and provide a year-round delight for guests at our Torquay hotel, and the temperate climate is a welcome companion at any time of the year.

If finding a quality venue large enough for your needs proves a constant headache, look no further. The Palace Arena provides you with 1,300 square metres of uninterrupted space plus a dedicated reception area of 150 square metres, cloakrooms and speakers' green room, cleverly connected to the hotel via a covered walkway.

Perfect for hosting conferences, product launches, team building, exhibitions, roadshows, concerts or sports tournaments. Our supporting facilities include:

• Luxury 4-star hotel accommodation

• Plentiful on-site and roadside parking

Evenings spent at the Palace Hotel Torquay are a delicious combination of elegant indulgence, good company and a real sense of occasion.

Our professional brigade of chefs in the hotel restaurant produce the highest quality English and French cuisine, each dish created with the utmost care and dedication that you would expect from a Devon luxury hotel.

Using ingredients from the South Hams and the fishing port of Brixham, the daily changing restaurant menu resonates with freshness. Locally caught fish and Devon seafood compete with Westcountry meat, game, fruit and vegetables. Vegetarian selections are always available whilst alternatives can be arranged, with just a little prior notice, for guests who have special dietary needs.

For those who can indulge, the incredible dessert selection showcases the flair of our talented pastry chef. Just add Devonshire clotted cream for that decadent finishing touch.

An extensive selection of specially chosen wines are available to complement your food. Offering full-bodied reds and crisp, fresh white wines to suit every palate, why not select one of our champagnes to mark that special occasion?
