Get Comfortable! at Future Inns

Future Inns is a family-owned, independent hotel in Cardiff (opened in 2005). Inspired by the original and highly successful Future Inns concept launched in Canada in 1989, our UK hotel is built on the same core principles: comfort, consistency, and outstanding value.

Future Inn Plymouth (opened in 2006) and Future Inn Bristol (in 2009) are now closed and have been sold to a new hotel operator. The hotels will reopen soon as a Premier Inn. 

The Cardiff hotel offers spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, featuring modern amenities and thoughtful home-from-home touches as standard. You’ll find everything you’d expect from a 4-star hotel - without the price tag - including free parking for all guests, making your stay even more convenient and great value for money.

Guests can also take advantage of our free-to-join loyalty programme, Future Club Rewards, which offers exclusive discounts on every booking, earn points per stay, and provides additional perks, making great value even better.

Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure, Future Inns delivers dependable hospitality, generous room sizes, and an exceptional guest experience - every time.
