A Victorian Grade II Listed Building the New Continental, Plymouth's largest independent hotel, is situated in the heart of the city centre, adjacent to Plymouth Pavilions and close to the Theatre Royal, Barbican and historic Plymouth Hoe. With the advantage of our own private car park, we can provide  parking for up to 80 vehicles.

Three Star AA/ETC rated, all 99 en-suite bedrooms have been tastefully and individually decorated and equipped with all the modern amenities to ensure all guests a comfortable and relaxing stay.

In 1875, this grand building opened its doors as the Albion Hotel formerly the site of an old eye infirmary, with the main purpose to provide accommodation for railway passengers using the GWR terminal at Millbay Station, which was just a few yards away. Over the years expansion followed until 1904, when the whole site was redeveloped to produce the building seen here today. It kept its name the Albion until the early 1930's when it became The Continental.

By 1974 the hotel had fallen onto hard times and thus into the hands of the receivers. In 1977 it was taken over by the Plymouth Hotel Company — the same firm that had set up the Duke of Cornwall Hotel. In 1984 it changed hands once again, this time to Steve Hajiyianni. The Hotel was closed for a total of six months so that complete renovation could take place. Bedrooms were knocked down and reconstructed to ensure all rooms were ensuite. On 1st May 1985 the hotel was officially opened as The New Continental Hotel by the then Lord Mayor Peter Whitfeld.

Over the years expansion followed with an additional 23 bedrooms, indoor leisure complex, Executive Restaurant,  Ballroom and more recently the refurbishment of all 99 bedrooms to a style more in keeping with age of the building.
