Charming and compact, Cardiff sits between a picturesque castle and an ultramodern waterfront. The lively city has certainly reinvented itself from when it was known as an industrial port town. Today, it is popular for its exciting rugby tournaments, thriving shopping and art scenes, and castles. While choice of accommodations in most Cardiff neighborhoods is still dominated by chain hotels, there are increasingly more other great options where visitors can stay, including cozy boutique inns.
