The King Arthur's Castle Hotel (now called Camelot Castle Hotel) opened in 1899; it was an enterprise of Sir Robert Harvey and the architect was [[Silvanus Trevail]]. It was originally intended as the terminus hotel for a planned branch railway line from [[Camelford]] that was never built.<ref name="FT" /> The hotel stands alone on land previously known as Firebeacon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.luxsoft.demon.co.uk/sts/ncwll-bldngs.html|title=Some Buildings by Trevail|access-date=15 May 2009|archive-date=20 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101120045721/http://www.luxsoft.demon.co.uk/sts/ncwll-bldngs.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The hotel was built in 1896. The front has battered walls, a central entrance tower rising to five storeys and projecting four-storey corner towers; the towers have machicolations and rise above the three storeys of the rest of the building. The Great Hall on the first floor is designed around a replica of the Winchester Round Table and has Romanesque arcades with Italian marble piers.<ref>Peter Beacham; Nikolaus Pevsner (2014).

There were two hotels on Fore Street, Trevena: the Wharncliffe Hotel and the Tintagel Hotel. The Wharncliffe has now been converted into flats (next to the King Arthur's Hall): the Aelnat Cross (Hiberno-Saxon) stands in the grounds. It is named after the [[Earl of Wharncliffe]] who was the largest landowner in the parish until his holdings were sold at the beginning of the 20th century. Opposite the Wharncliffe is the former Tintagel Hotel, once commonly known as Fry's Hotel: this was the terminus for coaches in the days before the railway to [[Camelford Station]] and stands on the site of the medieval chapel of St Denys. Near Dunderhole Point on Glebe Cliff stands a building from the former slate quarry that has been used as Tintagel Youth Hostel (managed by [[YHA (England and Wales)|YHA]]) for many years.
