The well-known local Architect Frank Nicholls converted Penwyn House, a former sea captains house, to the Regent Hotel in 1926.

During the Second World War was the GHQ of General Omar Bradley as he prepared his troops for operation overlord.

The Regent has been in the Varnals family for almost 40 years, the present proprietors being Keith & Sandi. The Hotel enjoys spectacular views of St Ives Harbour & bay from almost all of the rooms.

All our double and twin-bedded rooms have en-suite facilities including hairdryers, clock radio, tea & coffee making facilities plus central heating colour television and of course a view.

Our 2 single rooms are not en-suite, but enjoy more than adequate shower & toilet facilities plus colour television tea and coffee facilities etc and a partial view.

The Regent also offers 2 very comfortable Residents Lounges both with views, one with a television.

As well as our Breakfast Buffet, we serve a wide selection of cooked items, which include English, Vegetarian, Continental & Fish dishes. Our Fish & Bacon are local products delicately Oak smoked. Our sausages come from Kittows a Cornish sausage maker established for more than 100 years. They are made with organic pork and Skinners real ale.

We also offer you the choice of real Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, or Cafetière Coffee, plus a selection of Teas or Hot Chocolate.

The Varnals family look forward to meeting you, should you choose to visit us here at The Regent Hotel St Ives.

St Ives has much to offer those of you who enjoy shopping with Penzance and Truro a little further a field.

St Ives also houses the St Ives Tate Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth museum and has been a haven for artists, drawn by the beautiful Cornish scenery.

We have a very romantic county with amazing sunsets and sunrises (if you want to get up early enough!) the ever restless seas, heathered moorlands and a myriad of cosy restaurants and pubs - so please consider coming to Cornwall for your honeymoon, unless of course you want to get married here as well!

The sands, the sea, the artists, the little streets and gorgeous harbour scene, all combine to delight the holidaymakers in this magnificent Mediterranean - style resort.

Arriving by road or by rail along the delightful scenic branch line the first sight of St. Ives with the sun on the water is breathtaking. The panoramic vista of this resort is quite magnificent revealing a town ringed by glorious beaches and surrounded by a turquoise sea.

Life revolves around the harbour and the fishing trade that helped it grow to prosperity.
