About this Project

Evans Electrical was appointed to deliver the complete electrical services for The Parkgate Hotel, a landmark luxury development in Cardiff city centre operated by The Celtic Collection. Located adjacent to Principality Stadium, this project transformed a historic former Post Office and County Court into a prestigious 170-bedroom hotel featuring high-end restaurants, conference spaces, and leisure facilities.

The project demanded meticulous planning and coordination to ensure premium finishes while meeting strict safety and compliance standards. The Parkgate Hotel now stands as one of Cardiff’s most luxurious hospitality venues, offering guests a unique blend of historic character and contemporary comfort.
