Three restored Grade II* listed Georgian townhouses line Cheltenham's Regency Promenade.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The slightly sleepy Cotswolds town of Cheltenham might not be the first place you’d think to look for a lively and self-assuredly stylish boutique hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto The Promenade opposite Imperial Gardens, and Montpellier's boutiques are a short walk uphill.
The rooms
Spiral staircases lead to bedrooms furnished with tweed headboards and deep Victorian roll-top baths.
At the table
YOKU serves sushi beneath gilded ceilings, and Bar Tokyo mixes late-night cocktails in a hidden room next door.
How it began
The central villa sat derelict for seven years before Superdry co-founder Julian Dunkerton restored the site in 2013.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
