English Tourism Week Careers: Behind the Scenes at the Duke of Cornwall

About us

The Duke of Cornwall Hotel is a defining figure in Plymouth’s past and its present. A landmark hotel built in 1863, the Duke has endured at the heart of this maritime city for over a century and a half since. Surviving two World Wars and radical changes in its surrounding environment, the hotel stands as a strong and steadfast connection to days gone by. Its splendid Victorian gothic architecture drew admiration then – and makes even more of a statement in the contemporary cityscape. Take up this opportunity to be part of a group doing a tour of the hotel, find out about the history of the venue, where they are going next and all of the skills within the organisation which make up The Duke.
