An historic Welsh building is set for a new lease of life this summer, as the team behind one of Cardiff's most in-demand restaurants announces plans to open at the landmark site. Located on Marine Parade, with sweeping views over the Bristol Channel, Holm House will become the second venue for Silures - recently named Cardiff's most booked restaurant of 2024, by The Fork.
This venture is being launched by Cardiff company A&M Hospitality Group, which was founded by Andrei Maxim and Daf Andrews. Their backgrounds include leading roles at some of London's most prestigious venues including the Savoy Grill, Galvin Bar & Grill and The Coral Room.
They have a popular restaurant in Roath, Cardiff, and they say this new venture will bring its signature blend of European cooking, cocktails and warm hospitality to the scenic coastal town. For the latest restaurant news and reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here

Built in the 1920s as a private residence, Holm House became a boutique hotel in 2004. Known for its spa, sea-facing rooms and elegant gardens, the property welcomed stars like Harry Styles, Daniel Craig and Tyson Fury.

However, like many in the hospitality sector, the business struggled post-pandemic and closed in March 2024, citing rising costs and changing market conditions. The building is cherished locally and has been listed as a "country treasure" in Penarth's conservation area appraisal.
Explaining why they have decided to open a new restaurant there, Daf Andrews said: "Penarth felt like the natural next step - a vibrant town with a strong sense of community and an appetite for quality hospitality.
"Holm House is a beautiful building, and the rooms, spa and garden offer something truly special. The private dining space and outdoor areas give us more flexibility to host everything from intimate dinners to events and celebrations, while staying true to the Silures experience."
The Penarth site will include a 50-seat main restaurant, a bar area with space for 25, a private dining room for 22 and garden terrace that can seat up to 50 or host up to 100 standing guests.
Silures is known for it's eclectic European menu

They say the menu is set to boast popular dishes such as XL jumbo king prawns with chilli and mango salsa, miso-glazed cauliflower with romesco and pistachio, a specialised wagyu burger and their Baked Alaska with white rum - prepared tableside.
There will be weekly specials with a weekday set menu, which is served Wednesday to Saturday, 12 to 3pm and 5pm to 6pm.
The new venue hopes to bring the warm hospitality and great food, which it's Roath restaurant has become famed for

Tighter US border rules are putting European visitors off, says Tui
Tighter border rules are putting European tourists off holidaying in the US, according to Europe's biggest package trip operator. Tui's chief executive, Sebastian Ebel, said there had been a 'significant decline' in travel to the US, due to a multitude of factors including 'the atmosphere, what you hear from border control'. He said European tourists were opting instead to visit Canada and other long-haul destinations such as Africa and Asia. The comments from Tui's chief executive follow a string of reports of Europeans and other foreigners with valid visas for the US facing interrogation, detainment and deportation, including a British tourist, three Germans, a Canadian and an Australian who were each held and then deported. Sarah Shaw, from New Zealand, and her six-year-old son, who live in the US, are being held at a US immigration centre after they were detained crossing the Canada-US border. Donald Trump's administration plans to impose bonds – some as high as $15,000 for some tourism and business visas. It also plans a $250 'visa integrity fee' for visitors. Asked about the changes, Ebel said: 'I expect that the impact will be seen, and this policy will change. Will it change in three months, will it change in three years? I have no idea.' Tui's report of a decline in US travel by its customers comes as figures have highlighted a sharp fall in overall tourism to the country in recent months; the industry is expected to lose out on billions of dollars this year as a result of government actions. Travel from Canada and Mexico in 2025 has fallen by 20% compared with last year, according to the US Travel Association. Ebel played down the significance of the fall to Tui, saying its US business was 'not of essence for us. It's a nice long-haul business, good margins, but it's not in the order of magnitude, not a big thing.' Ebel said customers would choose to visit places where there was 'seamless travel' and called for travel between the UK and the EU to be made easier. British visitors are allowed to use e-gates but they still have to get their passports stamped until at least October because of Brexit restrictions. Ebel said: 'I'm so happy that there's seamless travel for me as a German, to Spain, to Greece. I would wish that it would be the same seamlessness to the UK. 'It's not seamless, and that's not good for the UK, and it's not good for Europe either.' Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion Tui reported a 2% fall in summer bookings as a result of conflict in the Middle East, but said ticket prices were 3% higher, helping to balance out higher costs. A summer of heatwaves across Europe, and current extremely high temperatures across south-west France, Croatia, Italy and Spain, are also causing more holidaymakers to travel either ahead of, or after, the peak summer period, in what travel companies call the 'shoulder season', which usually refers to March-May and September-October. Ebel said this shift gave the company a 'good outlook', as the trend for customers travelling at other times of year and not just during the school summer holidays gave it more resilience. Tui increased its full-year profit guidance on Tuesday, following strong demand for stays in its hotels and for its cruises. Its shares rose more than 6%. Tui reported underlying pre-tax profit of €321m (£277m) between April and June, ahead of analysts' forecasts, and 38% higher than in the same quarter a year earlier as it benefited from the late timing of Easter.

Anglesey special tax zone plan could 'create thousands of new jobs'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Anglesey Freeport has been given the green light in a move that will open up the island as a 'hub for global trade'. The UK and Welsh Governments have approved a Full Business Case (FBC) for the Holyhead-based project, enabling it to unlock £25m in government seed capital. The FBC gives details of how Anglesey Freeport plans to operate. It follows the approval of the Freeport's Outline Business Case earlier in the year, which designated the 'Anglesey Prosperity Zone' and the 'Central Anglesey Tax Sites'. A third tax site, called 'North Anglesey', is expected to be approved later this year. New businesses located within these sites will benefit from special tax reliefs. It's hoped this will attract inward investment – Anglesey Council believes 'exciting times' lie ahead for the island's economy. With both business cases given the go-ahead, all required approvals are now in place and so the Freeport will move to its 'delivery phase'. On the horizon is a planned technology park in Holyhead which is expected to create around 1,200 jobs and generate up to £578m for the local economy. Outline planning permission for this is due to be determined shortly. The technology park is earmarked for Prosperity Parc, the former Anglesey Aluminium site which sits within the ' Anglesey Prosperity Zone'. Its backers believe that if the park's potential is realised, it will generate the equivalent of a third of Anglesey's current economy. Anglesey Freeport, a partnership between Stena Line and Anglesey Council. Ian Davies, head of UK Port Authorities at Stena Line, said FBC approval was a 'milestone' in the Freeport's development. Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now Mr Davies said: 'We will now deliver on the promise of the Freeport, which is to attract investment, protect the Welsh language and culture, create thousands of new jobs and boost economic growth across North Wales.' Rebecca Evans, the Welsh Government's cabinet secretary for economy, energy and planning, said the Freeport could 'supercharge' economic growth and high-quality jobs in North Wales. Dylan J Williams, Anglesey Council's chief executive, said FBC approval was a 'significant step forward' in delivering Anglesey Freeport. He said: 'Together with Stena Line, we have invested a considerable amount of time and effort into this transformational opportunity. 'There are, we hope, exciting times ahead as our partnership creates a solid foundation to deliver significant investment and long-term economic benefits for the island and North Wales. 'This investment will further help protect the Welsh language and maintain sustainable communities.' Anglesey Freeport was conceived as part of the the broader Freeport programme supported by the Welsh and UK Governments. The goal is to use tax incentives to stimulate global trade, innovation and investment, with an emphasis on low-carbon energy. This week the Anglesey Freeport team are at the Anglesey Show speaking with politicians, businesses and residents about its work and ambitions.

Global study reveals literary tourism renaissance as historic buildings drive cultural recovery
By Jeremy Liddle, Managing Director of Third Hemisphere, a full service marketing, PR, and public affairs agency with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, HK, the US, EU, and UK A comprehensive international study has identified a significant renaissance in literary tourism, with historic building conversions demonstrating remarkable success in creating sustainable cultural destinations that serve both local communities and international visitors. The research, encompassing consumer preferences from 200,000 participants across 54 global venues, reveals how adaptive reuse projects are revitalising urban areas while preserving architectural heritage. The findings provide valuable insights for heritage preservation advocates, urban planners, and cultural tourism development, particularly relevant to Scotland's own rich literary heritage and historic building conservation challenges. The study demonstrates how cities worldwide are successfully transforming underutilised historic properties into vibrant community anchors that generate economic activity while maintaining cultural authenticity. These destinations represent more than tourism attractions, they function as essential community infrastructure providing social gathering spaces, cultural programming, and economic vitality to neighbourhoods that might otherwise struggle with heritage building maintenance and urban regeneration challenges. Historic preservation success stories offer replicable models The most compelling examples emerge from venues that have successfully balanced heritage conservation with contemporary community needs. Boekhandel Dominicanen in Maastricht demonstrates how a 13th-century Gothic church conversion can maintain architectural integrity while serving modern community functions. The space preserves original vaulted ceilings and medieval frescoes while accommodating contemporary retail operations and cultural events including readings and live music performances. Trinity College Dublin's approach to institutional heritage management offers lessons for similar historic institutions. The famous Long Room, stretching 65 meters and housing rare manuscripts including the 9th-century Book of Kells, operates seven days weekly including Sunday afternoon access. This scheduling demonstrates how historic institutions can balance preservation requirements with public accessibility, generating tourism revenue that supports ongoing conservation efforts. Religious building conversions appear particularly successful across European contexts. The Abbey Library of St. Gallen in Switzerland, founded in 612 by an Irish monk, maintains its monastic collection within gleaming wooden interiors and original ceiling frescoes. Austria's Admont Abbey Library, completed in 1776 as the world's largest monastic library, demonstrates how ecclesiastical buildings can transition to broader cultural functions while preserving their essential character and historical significance. Theater conversions provide another successful model for heritage preservation. El Ateneo Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires maintains the ornate architecture of a 1919 performance venue while serving contemporary community needs. Former viewing boxes function as intimate reading spaces, while the original stage accommodates café service, proving that entertainment venues can find sustainable second lives through cultural programming. Alternative approaches to heritage building utilisation include bank conversions like The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles, operating within a historic financial building, and Maison Assouline in London, demonstrating how former commercial buildings near historic districts can contribute to cultural tourism while maintaining architectural character. Community infrastructure development through cultural programming Successful literary destinations demonstrate sophisticated approaches to community engagement that extend far beyond traditional retail or library services. These venues function as genuine community anchors providing social infrastructure that supports neighbourhood vitality and cultural continuity. Minoa Pera in Istanbul exemplifies comprehensive community programming through its integration of 45,000-title inventory with café service, cultural events, and extended operational hours including weekend service to midnight. The venue's book-embedded staircase connecting multiple floors creates architectural features that encourage community interaction while celebrating literary culture. Multi-generational programming appears consistently across successful venues. Dujiangyan Zhongshuge in China incorporates specialised children's areas with locally-themed design elements alongside adult collections, while venues like Boekhandel Dominicanen host diverse cultural events that serve different community demographics through readings, live music, and literary programming. Food service integration represents a primary strategy for creating sustainable community gathering spaces. The Used Book Café at Merci in Paris demonstrates how literary venues can provide essential social infrastructure through browse-while-dining experiences that encourage extended community use. Cafebrería El Péndulo in Mexico City operates restaurant-style upper floor dining that creates multi-use community space supporting different social activities throughout extended daily operations. International examples show similar community integration success. Ampersand Café & Bookstore in Sydney houses literary collections across three stories while providing neighbourhood dining services, creating community anchors that serve multiple daily use patterns. Eterna Cadencia in Buenos Aires operates within a residential district, providing café, bar, and outdoor patio services that support local social life while maintaining cultural programming focus. Event programming strategies generate community engagement while supporting operational sustainability. Shakespeare and Company in Paris maintains literary events programming that complements retail operations, while Word on the Water provides live music, poetry readings, and writing workshops that create ongoing community connections beyond transactional relationships. Urban development implications for cultural policy The international success patterns revealed through this research offer guidance for urban cultural policy development, particularly relevant to cities with significant heritage building stock and cultural tourism potential. The data demonstrates how literary-focused venues can address multiple urban challenges simultaneously, including heritage preservation, community social infrastructure, and economic development. Extended operational scheduling appears crucial for community integration success. Market-leading venues maintain average weekly operations of 72 hours compared to traditional retail standards of 56 hours, indicating that community-serving cultural venues require flexible scheduling to accommodate diverse neighbourhood needs. Trinity College Dublin's Sunday operations (12PM-5PM) and venues maintaining consistent seven-day schedules suggest that cultural infrastructure must adapt to contemporary community use patterns rather than institutional convenience. Geographic distribution analysis reveals concentrated success in European markets, with 43% of top-performing venues located in Netherlands, France, UK, and Portugal. This concentration suggests either mature policy environments supporting cultural heritage adaptive reuse or opportunities for knowledge transfer to other regions facing similar heritage preservation and community development challenges. Waterfront utilisation strategies demonstrate innovative approaches to urban cultural programming. Word on the Water operates from London's Regent's Canal, while Péniche L'Eau et les Rêves functions on Paris's Canal de l'Ourcq, proving that cultural venues can activate underutilised urban waterways while providing unique community amenities. These models suggest opportunities for cities with canal or waterfront heritage to develop distinctive cultural infrastructure. The implications extend to planning policy frameworks that could encourage similar cultural development. Successful venues consistently demonstrate revenue diversification through hospitality integration, event programming, and extended operations that suggest cultural venues require different regulatory approaches than traditional retail or library services. For Scottish contexts, the research provides international validation for literary tourism development strategies that could complement existing cultural heritage assets. The success of historic building conversions across diverse international contexts suggests significant potential for similar approaches within Scotland's abundant historic building stock and established literary heritage. The 1000 Libraries findings demonstrate that cultural venues combining heritage preservation with contemporary community programming can achieve sustainable operations while serving essential social infrastructure functions. These models offer frameworks for urban cultural policy that addresses heritage conservation, community development, and economic vitality through integrated approaches. Consumer preference data indicating strong international demand for authentic cultural experiences suggests significant tourism development potential for regions with appropriate heritage assets and supportive policy frameworks. The research provides evidence-based guidance for cultural tourism strategies that could benefit local communities while preserving architectural heritage and generating sustainable economic activity. The comprehensive international dataset from 1000 Libraries represents valuable resource for cultural policy development, offering annual consumer preference research supporting strategic decision-making for heritage preservation and community cultural infrastructure development across diverse urban contexts.
