Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel

The Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel is a building that features a main range with additional sections set back to the right and at the rear. It has a roughcast render exterior and a hipped slate roof with a pronounced overhang. The main range, dating from the 1850s, is two stories high and consists of five windows, primarily fitted with 12-pane sash windows, although there is one 16-pane sash window on the far right of the ground floor, and a 2-light, small-paned casement window to the right of the former porch, which is located to the left of center and has a flat roof with a 16-pane sash window. The left-hand return forms a long wing, built around 1890, which includes a similar porch to the right and matching window styles, although the upper windows are in dormers that break the eaves line.

Inside, the layout features an axial corridor with small rooms branching off, which may reflect an earlier design, although it is largely of post-war character. Notable interior spaces include a panelled smoking room and the Everest room, which is log-clad in an Austrian alpine style and showcases signatures from the Everest team and other distinguished visitors on the ceiling.
