The Atlantic Hotel Joins The Cornwall Hotel Collection

There are certain places in Cornwall that feel woven into the landscape – where history, community and coastline come together. Today, we’re proud to share that The Cornwall Hotel Collection has welcomed another of these special places into its care: The Atlantic Hotel.

Joining The Greenbank, The Falmouth and The Alverton, The Atlantic Hotel marks an exciting and meaningful step for our collection – one rooted not only in growth, but in care, heritage and a shared love for Cornwall.

Newquay itself is a place alive with energy – from its rolling surf and wide sandy beaches to its strong sense of community. Perched on the north coast, The Atlantic captures it all: big skies, Atlantic swells, and that unmistakable feeling of being beside the sea.

As with each of our hotels, this moment is about more than adding another destination to the map. At The Cornwall Hotel Collection, we believe these buildings hold stories worth preserving. Our role is to care for them thoughtfully – protecting their character while ensuring they continue to thrive for generations to come.

Following the careful and considered restoration currently underway at The Falmouth, plans for The Atlantic will take a similarly gentle approach. A phased programme will honour the hotel’s heritage while enhancing comfort and experience, always with a light touch and long-term vision.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome The Atlantic Hotel into The Cornwall Hotel Collection family. Newquay is a place of extraordinary natural beauty – the light, the coastline, the energy of the town – and The Atlantic sits at the very heart of it all.

As Cornish hoteliers, we feel a deep responsibility to care for the county’s historic landmarks. These hotels are part of Cornwall’s story. Our aim is always to honour their heritage while securing their future.

The progress we’re seeing at The Falmouth demonstrates what can be achieved with patience, respect and long-term vision, and we’re excited to bring that same careful restoration to The Atlantic. Just as importantly, we are committed to keeping the hotel’s feet firmly planted in local interests – working with local suppliers, supporting local jobs, and ensuring the hotel continues to be a place the community feels proud of.

This is not just about growth; it’s about stewardship. We’re looking forward to becoming part of Newquay’s community and to beginning this next chapter for such an iconic hotel.”

The Atlantic Hotel will continue to welcome guests as usual, with any enhancements introduced carefully over time.

Now spanning both Cornwall’s south coast and north coast, The Cornwall Hotel Collection continues to grow in a way that feels true to its roots – a collection defined not simply by places to stay, but by places with a story, a setting, and a deep connection to Cornwall.
