Celebrating 160 years of The Falmouth

April 29, 2025 | News

Visit our Victorian seaside hotel this May for the chance to find a golden ticket and win an exclusive prize! In celebration of 160 years of The Falmouth, we are giving away a whole host of prizes, including our decadent afternoon teas, luxurious spa treatments, plus lots more!

A brief history of The Falmouth

The Falmouth was formally opened on Tuesday 9th May 1865 under the Presidency of Mr Robert Tweedy, Chairman of both The Falmouth Hotel Company and The Cornwall Railway Company. As the final stages of the railway approached, the directors turned their attention to the splendours of Falmouth Bay and decided to build a luxurious hotel.

On Wednesday 22nd May 2024, The Falmouth was acquired by established Cornish hotelier group, the Cornwall Hotel Collection. Back under local ownership, and with plans to lovingly restore The Falmouth to its former glory, a glimpse of Victorian seaside glamour is all yours to experience during your visit.

Our Golden Ticket giveaway

The month of May marks both our 160th anniversary since first opening our doors, and our one-year anniversary as the newest addition to the Cornwall Hotel Collection. To celebrate, throughout May we are offering all our guests the opportunity to find golden tickets hidden around the hotel to win exclusive prizes!

Whether you’re dining in our sun-kissed restaurant, enjoying a few tipples in our bar, staying in one of our seaview rooms, or using our leisure facilities, there are endless opportunities to find golden tickets. Prizes range from our decadent afternoon teas and luxurious spa treatments to gold gym memberships, plus much more!

Since welcoming our first guests in 1865, we look forward to giving you a memorable visit in 2025 and the many years to come.
