The Alverton
About
The Alverton is a distinguished 4‑½‑star hotel perched on the hill above Truro’s historic centre. Formerly a 19th‑century convent, the Grade II* listed building has been lovingly restored to blend original Victorian‑Gothic charm with contemporary luxury. Visitors are welcomed by grand arches, a vaulted chapel, and lush gardens that form a serene escape from the bustling city below. The accommodation ranges from elegant classic rooms to luxury suites, each boasting bespoke furnishings, original stonework, and modern conveniences. Dining is a highlight, with a two‑AA‑rosette award‑winning restaurant overlooking the lawns and a chic bar serving cocktails, Cornish teas, and seasonal specials. With a centre for events, the Great Hall hosts weddings, conferences, and cultural celebrations, while the nearby Courtyard offers dog‑friendly, individually designed rooms that echo the main house’s heritage. It’s a jewel of Cornwall that invites guests to indulge in historic ambience, artisanal cuisine, and unrivalled hospitality.
