The place
125-139 Queen Street, Cardiff, above a building currently occupied at ground level by retail and food tenants including Sainsbury's, KFC and Creams Café — not a former hotel.
The concept
Developer J.B.S.L. Holdings Ltd's scheme adds a three-storey extension and a rooftop pavilion housing a restaurant and sky-bar atop the existing Queen Street building. Cardiff Council's planning committee unanimously approved the four-star, 158-room Courtyard by Marriott scheme on November 6, 2025. No construction start or opening date has been stated since approval.
Dining & wellness
A rooftop pavilion restaurant and sky-bar are part of the approved scheme; no operator for either has been named.
