A warm welcome to the newest member of 'Team Space!'


Tracey EvansTracey Evans has joined the team as our Business Development Manager, helping new and existing customers get the most for their money on a regular basis in Cardiff and Swansea.

If you would like to know more about our corporate accommodation then please get in touch with Tracey who will be delighted to assist with your accommodation needs.

Tracey revealed more about herself in a brief Q&A at our Cardiff HQ:

What experience do you have in the accommodation sector?

I won’t reveal exactly , but very many years in the hotel industry

How are you finding A Space in the City? 

It’s a pleasure to be working for such a dynamic and forward thinking company. The product itself is fantastic. Once the clients have seen what we have to offer they are usually very impressed which makes my job a little easier.

Do you have any hidden talents or any interests? 

It always surprises people that I am a bit of an adrenalin junkie. I love skiing (fast), have flown a helicopter and driven a formula 4 racing car! I just love big American roller coasters.

Favourite Sandwich?

I can’t choose between sweet and savoury. Either brown bread and banana or hot brie and crispy bacon (I am hungry now just thinking about it!)

Beans on toast or cheese on toast? 

Beans on toast but it has to be Heinz or nothing!

Favourite childhood sweet? 

Red liquorice. Still is!

See what our customers say about us…….

“Don't bother booking a hotel in or around Cardiff bay, stay here”

    “Great spacious apartment with a great view and large balcony. Also had access to the swimming pool which was added bonus.”

“The apartment was lovely, spacious, clean and comfortable. More than what we needed for our 1 night stay. Would highly recommend!”

“As soon as we got into our apartment we were really happy, great big bed and living area and a 40 inch TV with a DVD player, great for a chill with a glass of wine in hand :) You got to park your car underground in the basement so you knew your car would be safe. Also the apartments were only a 10 minute walk from the city centre. Definitely would stay here again, great value for money.”

“We had a 2 bedroom luxury apartment overlooking the bay, with a high level of furnishing and really well appointed - flatscreens, remote curtains, excellent audio system, free wifi etc.
It is in an ideal location in walking distance to the bay and has everything you could want.”

“Real VIP accommodation for excellent value I booked this apartment for my fiancé’s 25th birthday and was very impressed with the apartment, large rooms one slightly bigger than the other with an en suite. The lounge was a good size with a small table and the kitchen was very nice with everything you needed, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, pans and cutlery.”

“Anyone who works away from home for regular or long periods knows the feeling –when you’ve been working all day it’s nice to be able to go back to your own apartment and do whatever you want to do when you want to.”

“The apartments are really well located smack in between the city centre and the bay (10 minute walk to either), we were on the 8th floor the views over both are great. First time we have ever stayed in an apartment and if this is what there all like we'll never do hotels again.”

At the heart of the show are life-sized puppets which bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage. Filed with stirring music and some of the most innovative stagecraft of our time, this is a remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship, and a genuinely unforgettable theatrical experience.
Package includes:
2 nights’ accommodation at either Quayside (1 min walk to WMC) or Century Wharf (10 mins walk) + tickets to the performance on 21st June, 28th June, 5th July, 12th July and 19th July.

  • 1 bedroom = £135 per person, based on 2 sharing
  • 2 bedroom = £120 per person, based on 4 sharing

Please quote the package which you are interested in at the time of enquiry.  
Once you have made an enquiry, availability of the tickets will be confirmed and the package will subsequently be confirmed to you.
These performances sell extremely quickly so we recommend that booking is made several months in advance, however we can take bookings up to 14 days prior to the performance date (subject to availability).
The accommodation will be provided in any one of our Cardiff Bay developments.  Bookings made are non-refundable and non-cancellable.
Full payment is required at the time of booking.

Expansion of the Swansea portfolio


Swansea at nightThe Swansea operation of A Space In The City shows further growth with the acquisition of further apartments. The expansion of the portfolio in Swansea has been necessary due to the growth of the business sector in the city. The upturn has been led predominantly by the ongoing construction of the multi-million pound new Swansea University Science and Engineering campus on Fabian Way. The new luxury waterfront apartments are located in the city’s premier SA1 area, making them ideal for both visitors to the city centre and further afield in South Wales.
