The Great Western Railway named two of its express locomotives after the hotel: Duke Class number 3280 carried the name "Tregenna" from 1897 to 1930. Castle Class number 5006 was given the name "Tregenna Castle" in 1927. Subsequently The GWR was nationalised to become the Western Region of British Railways on 1 January 1948. Railway hotels throughout the United Kingdom eventually became the British Transport Hotels division but they were all privatised during the 1980s. The hotel and grounds are currently managed by the Tregenna Castle Estate. The castle hosted President Joe Biden and his entourage during the G7 meeting of advanced economies at the Carbis Bay Hotel in June 2021.
