Why Hire
voco St. David’s is particularly strong for residential conferences and corporate events where the setting matters as much as the meeting facilities. The Dylan Thomas and Roald Dahl suites provide flexible main-event spaces, while the smaller rooms, dedicated pre-function areas and terrace allow organisers to build conferences with breakouts, catering and networking under one roof.
Its waterfront position is a significant differentiator from Cardiff's more conventional city-centre conference hotels, while 142 bedrooms, onsite dining and spa facilities make multi-day events straightforward.
