The Royal Victoria Hotel

The Royal Victoria Hotel features three floors with painted ashlar walls, five sash windows, and pilasters adorned with Corinthianesque capitals.

The hotel opened in 1832 after local residents invested in its construction, initially under the name Union before Princess Victoria's visit changed its designation.

The building incorporates elements of Regency architecture, including a rusticated ground floor, plain frieze, and moulded cornice on the first floor.

Located on St Mary Street in central Newport, the structure stands at coordinates 52.7701 latitude and -2.3797 longitude, near the Church of St Nicholas.

Princess Victoria of Kent presented two tortoise shells to commemorate her 1832 visit, leading to the establishment's renaming as The Royal Victoria Hotel.
