This December, we’re supporting our local food bank again and need your help to make a difference. We’re setting up donation points in Club Continental and Reception throughout December until we close for Christmas.
If you’re attending one of our festive Christmas parties, we kindly ask that you bring along an item to donate. Every contribution, big or small, will go a long way in supporting those in need this holiday season.
Let’s come together to make this a brighter Christmas for everyone! ✨

It is a place for the rich and famous to gather and anybody who is anybody will be there including the loud and brash Rosaline Warner. Anything you may need then don’t hesitate to ask friendly hotel manager Alan Cooper and his staff. Will there be any trouble during service? What exactly does Rosaline want and at what cost?

The New Continental has officially reopened!
Over the past few months, whilst being closed to the public we were transformed into a residential care hotel, New Continental Extra Care. This was commissioned by Plymouth City Council, with care provided by Livewell Southwest staff. Our Extra Care Hotel opened in April in response to the coronavirus pandemic and closed its doors on 30th June having bid farewell to the final patient.
It was an honour to help our local community during what has been challenging and unprecedented times. Now as we return to business as ‘usual’, we would like to give you further information on the precautions we are taking to look after you and our team.
We have looked at all our procedures from the time of your arrival to the moment of your departure, and we have adapted many aspects of our normal routines.
One of the most important things, however, is that we still have comfortable rooms, a wonderful city centre location just a few moments from Plymouth’s waterfront and a fantastic team of staff who are dedicated to ensuring that you have a happy and relaxing stay with us.
Thank you all for your support and we look forward to seeing you soon!
We are proud to be working with Livewell Southwest and Plymouth City Council to temporarily turn our family-owned hotel into an extra care facility. This will be for people who are ready to leave hospital but need extra care support before they can get home. This means vital hospital beds can be freed up to support those who really need them.
Our team will be supporting Livewell with the practical side of the operation including providing catering and cleaning services, working alongside dedicated healthcare staff who have been recruited and trained by Livewell. Volunteers recruited by Plymouth City Council who have given up their time to support others will also be part of the team. Members of our existing team will not be carrying out personal care with people and there are strict criteria around who is eligible for a bed.
People with confirmed Covid-19 diagnosis or those displaying symptoms will not be suitable for the Extra Care Hotel and will be cared for in more appropriate settings.
Bobbie Hajiyianni, Director at the New Continental Hotel said:
“As a family we are happy to be able to use our hospitality services in this supportive role to the wider community and local NHS. We look forward to the day where we can all leave these challenging times behind and we are able to re-open our doors to the public.”
Geoff Baines, Director of Safety and Quality at Livewell Southwest said:
“We are working closely with Plymouth City Council and other organisations to ensure that we can support people in whatever way we can. Importantly we want to ensure that we can relieve some of the pressure on our hospitals by providing somewhere safe for people to move to from hospital when they are well enough but when they are not quite ready to go home without support.”
Councillor Kate Taylor, Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Social Care at Plymouth City Council, said:
“It’s amazing how many people have come together across the system to help re-purpose this hotel and relieve some of the pressure placed on the hospital, to support our residents in the city and ensure that there are places for people to move to from hospital the moment they are well enough.”
Our hotel will be reopened and ready to take people if needed, from tomorrow (Wednesday 15th April).
Our team are still able to answer queries regarding any future accommodation or event bookings you have with us, please contact us by email on reservations@newcontinental.co.uk
We understand that the current situation with COVID19 is worrying for everyone and we would like to reassure you that the health and wellbeing of our team and guests are our top priority. The latest advice is to avoid restaurants and bars without specifying a ban on these venues so until instructed otherwise, we will be remaining open and welcoming guests into our hotel, whilst all the time upholding the strictest health and hygiene measures.
Our top priority is to keep you as safe as possible if you choose to stay, dine or use our gym facilities.
Measures we are taking during this time:
What we expect from our guests before and on entering the hotel:
We are trying to be as flexible as possible during this time and we will continue to listen to the government’s advice and adapt as the situation changes. Our team are on hand with any questions you may have by phone 01752 276798 or email: reservations@newcontinental.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you soon.

It’s time to P-p-pick up your Penguins: A LEGO® brick trail map … today!
The adorable LEGO® brick penguins have returned to Plymouth’s city centre. It’s their final year of bringing festive family-fun and Christmas magic to Plymouth.
So, let’s make the most of it! Now in full swing, the adventures started on Saturday 30 November. There are 19 life size LEGO brick penguins and one spectacular Emperor Penguin. They are all hidden in shops and cafés across the city centre, waiting to be discovered!
The trail cards can be collected from each participating business; Drake Circus Shopping Centre, libraries and the Tourist Information Centre. They can also be downloaded from the Visit Plymouth website.
The trail will run until Sunday 5 January 2020. So, you still have plenty of time to seek out all 20 penguin names and add them to the trail card, or enter online: www.visitplymouth.co.uk/plymouth-penguins.
All entries must be fully completed and sent in by Wednesday 15 January 2020. Then you will be in for the chance to win some awesome prizes! These include a weekend family trip to LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort, courtesy of Plymouth Citycoach! Or a Penguin Feeding Experience at Living Coasts for four people.
The trail is a great opportunity to entertain the children whilst shopping for Christmas gifts or just enjoying some festive treats. Why not head to the Piazza and visit the Christmas Market? Open until 19 December, it’s the perfect place to p-p-pick up some unique gifts for family and friends!
Children will love the Creation Station, who are providing free penguin making craft activities at the market every Sunday. For the selfie-lovers among us, the giant walk-through illuminated bauble arch will be back on the Piazza this year too, providing the perfect backdrop to your festive snaps.
With a family-fun trail, big name brands, fantastic independents, spectacular events and entertainment, a beautifully lit Christmas Market with a Bavarian style bar, there’s plenty to enjoy in Plymouth this festive season. Find out more at www.visitplymouth.co.uk/christmas-in-plymouth
