History
Holland House stands on the site which used to belong to the first secondary school in Cardiff.
The building used to be offices for Lloyds TSB. It was refurbished in 2003/4 for hotel use. The hotel was run by Macdonald Hotels until 2007 when it was sold to Accor to be run under the Mercure brand.
In 2006, the exterior of the building was used as a hospital for filming of the Cardiff sci-fi and drama series Torchwood.
Holland House underwent an alteration and refurbishment project on the existing concrete framed structure, including the destruction of an existing 2 storey extension structure. The 2 storey extension itself was 30 x 15 metre² and was built on top of an existing basement car park area.
