Queens Hotel, housed in an elegant neo-classical white building, overlooks the Imperial Gardens in central Cheltenham, close to the upscale shops and restaurants of the Montpellier area and half a mile from Cheltenham Spa railway station. This fine hotel has undergone a brilliant transformation in recent years and now has a pleasing, tasteful boutique look with a modern twist. It has 84 luxurious rooms and suites, a good restaurant, Victoria's, the delightful Gold Cup Bar with a brilliant cocktail menu, the Duke's Tea Room for splendid afternoon tea and all-day dining and a private outside terrace for summer eating.
Though in a quieter, more residential area of the city, the hotel is still close enough to walk to shops, restaurant and entertainment.
Entertainment venues such as the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham Town Hall and the Pittville Pump Room are a few minutes' walk away.

Empty nesters, couples and groups of friends will enjoy the relaxed but luxurious vibe of the hotel. There are some beautiful design features, including historic wallpaper by Augustus Pugin, who created the interior of the Palace of Westminster.
Being greeted at the door when you arrive and having someone always close at hand when you need something, like another cocktail, is a real treat.
