Glorious with Regency architecture, Cheltenham was ‘discovered’ as a spa town in the 18th century, and grew grand and healthy then, when it became the perfect place to stay when visiting The Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Bath. The best places to stay in Cheltenham are still a perfect, and often very elegant, base for exploring this part of the country. Our recommendations feature a number of beautifully converted Regency townhouses, as well as a few Edwardian numbers, some country house hotels, and more modern picks in Montpellier.
Some of our Cheltenham collections:
Cheltenham is one of the largest towns in The Cotswolds, so ideal for a Cotswolds mini-break. It has plenty of restaurants and bars, which line the elegant boulevards, alongside boutiques and galleries. Plus historic pubs and pretty gardens too. And of course you’re close to some of the Cotswold’s other charming towns and villages: Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Chipping Campden, Cirencester and Broadway.
Our list of the best places to stay in Cheltenham become extremely busy during Cheltenham’s illustrious calendar of horse racing meets. As well as during the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and the Cheltenham Music Festival. So if you're planning to visit at any of these times, do your research and book well ahead.
