Queen of Romania’s hotel
In 1890 the Queen of Romania stayed at the Marine Hotel, which was then called the Adelphi Hotel. She had been unwell and the Prince of Wales recommended a visit to Llandudno to help her get better. When she arrived, she wasn’t happy to be in a busy holiday resort.
Soon she fell in love with Llandudno and North Wales. She had written novels and poems in four different languages. She enjoyed a visit to the National Eisteddfod, the Welsh festival of writing and music.
The people of Llandudno liked her. Just before she left, the town’s children paraded past her hotel.
