A £1m makeover is being planned to transform and old bank into a boutique apartment style hotel and a quirky café bar. The former HSBC bank on Taff Street in the centre of Pontypridd has been purchased by the owner of Lanelay Hotel who has plans to turn the four story building into a five star hotel.
Dave Edwards, who also owns the luxurious Forest Retreat in Llantrisant which often hosts Gareth Bale and Tyson Fury bought the old bank at auction for £270,000. The business owner told WalesOnline he has grand plans to turn it into a five star hotel and café bar.
The bank went to auction in October 2022 with a guide price of £250,000. You can view photos from inside the building in its current state here.
