Cheltenham has been a classy and exclusive health and holiday spa resort since the discovery of mineral springs in 1716. Find hotels in Cheltenham convenient for the Music Festival, Cheltenham Racecourses, the Festival of Literature and Sudeley Castle & Gardens. Pittville Pump Room is a must-see attraction, an absolute gem amongst Cheltenham’s many Regency spa buildings.

Cheltenham, regarded by some as the jewel in Jump racing’s crown, regularly plays host to some the finest jumping action in the world. The course is set amongst 350 spectacular acres in the lee of the beautiful Cotswold hills. The 4-star Cheltenham Park Hotel is worth considering. This is a magnificent extended Regency manor house nestling in its own secluded gardens and has a fabulous natural lake. Only two miles from Cheltenham town centre and close to popular Cotswolds attractions like Chedworth Roman Villa and peaks like Cleeve Hill, the hotel offers 152 luxurious guest rooms and 68 Premium rooms that gently reflect its original Georgian design.

The cheapest and most flexible options in Cheltenham are probably overnight specialists like the Holiday Inn Express on Dunalley Street and cheerfully no-frills Travelodge. The 106-bedroom Travelodge can be found just one mile south of Cheltenham Spa and is the ideal base for preparing for that business meeting at Gloucester Business park or studying the form of the favourites at Cheltenham Races. The Holiday Inn Express occupies a similar niche: smart, basic yet affordable accommodation in a good central position close to the University and just five minutes from Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum. Whilst it doesn’t offer onsite parking, adequate parking is available across the road at a nearby NCP car park at around the £5 mark for overnight parking. Because Room4U enjoys a number of last-minute unsold rooms we can share terrific discounts on Cheltenham hotels and cheap b&b breaks.
