. . . one of the finest Hotels in St Ives

The Chy an Albany Hotel occupies a wonderfully elevated site overlooking St Ives Bay providing accommodation with every comfort and amenity you would expect from an award winning 3 star Hotel, and more besides. The perfect base from which to explore the West Penwith peninsula and beyond.

Viewed form the terrace, St. Ives is a painting made real. The pastel-washed cottages tumbling to the water's edge, the narrow streets, the brightly coloured fishing boats and the granite arms of the harbour. Artists down the generations have found inspiration here, responding to the crystal clear light and the shimmering azure waters of the bay. Some stayed for a few hours, others for a lifetime, but all fell under the spell of this paradise.

. . . where shall we go today?

Down to the harbour for a chat with the locals, browse around the galleries and craft shops, splash along the shoreline, visit an exotic garden or two, or simply busy yourselves doing nothing, taking your time… being on holiday

Godrevy Lighthouse, winking at us from across St Ives Bay, and the setting for Virginia Woolf’s captivating novel, is the perfect emblem for this spectacular peninsula. Both accessible and remote, wild yet tranquil. Sheltered yet exposed, an uncompromising mystical beauty to which you will return, year upon year.

. . . relax and unwind

The accommodation provides every comfort and amenity you would expect and more besides; but inevitably the sights and sounds from your bedroom window will live in the memory, long after your holiday is over.

Imagine waking to the sound of surf gently lapping the shoreline, drawing back the curtains and stepping out onto the balcony. A wide blue horizon stretches before you and the promise of the day lies ahead.

. . . the Albany Restaurant

The Albany Restaurant invites both visiting and residential guests to experience the range and variety of our cuisine.

Take the freshest, finest local vegetables and produce, fish straight from the sea, Cornish made cheeses and a basket of exotic foods and wines from around the world. Add award winning Chef's and a dash of inspiration, mix them all together, sit back and enjoy!

. . . the perfect venue

Memories lasting a lifetime take just a few hours in the making, so ensuring your special day remains memorable is something we take very seriously at Chy-an-Albany. With facilities to cater for up to 80 guests, we have a license to hold civil wedding ceremonies and a dedicated team who will ensure everything runs smoothly.

The Hotel enjoys an enviable reputation for hosting special events, business and conference meetings. Whether your plans include a small intimate gathering or something on a larger scale, the attention to detail and quiet efficiency of the staff makes the hotel the perfect venue for that special function.
