Artist Residence Penzance and sister property Artist Residence in Brighton share a fun and hip atmosphere, where old meets new. Housed within a Grade II listed 17th Century Georgian mansion, (No.7 on the Penzance Town Trail), these 10 en-suite rooms have a funky, informal vibe – with top notch facilities.

Each of the playful ‘sleep in a gallery’ rooms have been individually designed and decorated by Cornish & British artists from across the country. Choose one that appeals to your inner artist - from wacky murals in the Jo Peel room, Pinky Vision pastel sea-scapes, butterfly themed Dolly Divine or cool & chic A.R Blank - where guests can create their own art by doodling on the blackboard walls. Some rooms have views to the sea over the rooftops. Some rooms have beautiful original architectural features such as vaulted ceilings and large Georgian Windows. All are a delight.

Your private masterpiece bedroom has the comfort of quality bedding, modern en-suite shower rooms, flatscreen digital TV’s and
eco-chic toiletries.

Breakfast and Lunch

The artistic theme doesn’t stop with artist rooms. The all-white room on the ground floor serves as an Art Gallery, Shop and Chill Out Area. Filled with an eclectic hotpotch of new and recycled furniture to lounge on – guests can feast on delicious breakfasts, packed with local Cornish produce.

A continental cold buffet is beautifully laid out, whilst a rotating ‘hot dish of the day’ - with dishes such as scrambled egg with smoked salmon or omelette with honey roasted ham, cooked to order. All are served on a selection of pretty, mismatched, and brightly coloured crockery.

Artist Residence breakfasts provide a great start to the day.

Located in the very centre of Penzance, just 5 minutes from the sparkling sea-front, ferry terminal and rail / bus station.

Walk out of the chunky red front door and you are on Penzance’s most vibrant street, crammed with cafe’s, restaurants, pubs, shops and gallery’s.

Artist Residence is a great base for exploring Penzance’s bohemian charms and South West Cornwall.
