Regent Hotel, Fern Lea Terrace, St Ives, Cornwall

The Regent, run by Keith and Sandi Varnals, is a small comfortable hotel in the centre of town, enjoying spectacular views over St. Ives Bay and harbour. All our bedrooms have colour TV, tea and coffee making facilities, radio alarm clocks, hairdryers and most rooms enjoy a view.

The Regent, a former sea captains house, was converted to a hotel in 1926 by the well known local Architect Frank Nicholls and has been running continuously as such ever since.

The hotel was the meeting place of St Ives Rotary Club until the commencement of hostilities. During the war the hotel was first of all the co-ordinating centre for the coastal gunnery around the Western Approaches. Later to be taken over by the American General Omar Bradley for his G.H.Q and over the door the sign read 134th U.S. Infantry and a large curved sign board over the main entrance door proclaimed "All Hell Can’t Stop Us".

After the war the hotel continued as a small family run hotel and ever since that time visitors have been enthralled by the views from most of the rooms in the building.

The Hotel has been in the Varnals family for some 30 years and has been tastefully modernised with all the double and twin rooms offering full en-suite facilities and of course the unique views that only the Regent Hotel can offer. We also offer town centre car parking space for every guest.
