Westgate Hotel, Grade II listed hotel in Newport, United Kingdom
The Westgate Hotel stands on Commercial Street with a French Renaissance architectural design, featuring a grand ballroom and six ground-floor retail spaces.
During the 1839 Newport Rising, the hotel became the site of conflict between 3,000 Chartists and 60 soldiers, resulting in multiple casualties.
Three commemorative statues stand outside the building, marking the significance of the Chartist movement's fight for voting rights in British history.
The hotel underwent renovations to restore its ballroom, staircase, and bar areas, preparing the venue for contemporary music performances and cultural events.
The structure replaced Newport's original West city gate, incorporating the pillars from an earlier 1779 building during its reconstruction in 1884.
