The Queen's Hotel is Grade II listed LinkExternal link "The large-scale development of Llandudno as a seaside resort originates from the late 1840s. In 1846, Owen Williams, born on Anglesey, but in business at Liverpool is said to have proposed a resort to John Williams, agent of the Mostyn family, who had sponsored the enclosure of the common land below the Great Orme. A fisherman's hut below the Great Orme was the meeting place where Owen Williams and The Hon T E M Lloyd Mostyn MP developed the idea. Plans were drawn up by Wehnert & Ashdown, architects and surveyors, of Charing Cross, London. Leases were offered for sale on 29 August 1849. The Queen's Hotel dates from 1855.

The North Wales Pioneer dated 8th May 2020 LinkExternal link reported that "The Queen's Hotel in Llandudno has closed its doors for good. The hotel was one of three establishments, owned by Northern Powerhouse Developments, that had been placed in administration. In March, the Pioneer reported that administrators Duff and Phelps had been left 'no choice' but to close the hotels temporarily as the 'world addresses the Covid-19 crisis'. But on Thursday, May 7 - The Queens Hotel revealed it was to close its doors permanently."

For a view of the closure from a slightly different perspective see BBC Wales: LinkExternal link
