Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel

Building comprises main range with further ranges set back to right and to rear. Roughcast render with hipped slate roof with pronounced overhang. Main range (representing the 1850s hotel) is a 2-storeyed, 5-window range, generally with 12-pane sashes though with one 16-pane sash to far right of ground floor, and a 2-light, small-paned casement to right of former porch, itself set to left of centre, flat-roofed and with 16-pane sash window. Left-hand return forms long wing (of c1890), with similar porch to right and fenestration, though upper windows in dormers breaking the eaves line.

The interior arrangement of axial corridor with small rooms opening off it may reflect and earlier layout, though largely of post-war character. The panelled smoking room, and the Everest room are particularly notable: the latter is log-clad in Austrian alpine style, and features signatures of the Everest team and other notable visitors to the hotel, written on the ceiling.
