The Empire Hotel was
originally a block of shops, the first
'emporium' in Llandudno, built in 1854 and
housing a chemist, a grocer and an Italian warehouse all run by Thomas
Williams a young man from Denbigh. Williams published
in 1855 the 'Visitor's
Hand-Book' the first tourist guide to Llandudno. The
four columns at the front entrance were a gift from Queen
Victoria, not to Llandudno but to the Winter Gardens at St. Leonard's
on Sea. They were bought at a Sotheby's auction and erected with the
pediment in 1993, thus completing the elegant facade.
