Review: Live your best Regency life at the Queen’s Hotel
This author is pleased to report that delegates visiting Cheltenham will be able to meet, eat and sleep like Regency royalty.
As I descend the grand central staircase, I feel like a debutante off to her first ball. The ornate wallpaper pops against my cream draped dress, as I swish along the carpeted corridors, and the fading daylight from the skylight glances off the gold bannisters.
I’m at the Queen’s Hotel in Cheltenham Spa, a rather palatial building which holds court in the town centre. As one of the country’s first purpose-built hotels, its legacy as a meeting place for the creme de la creme has been cemented since the eighteenth century. It even brags the exact same wallpaper that can be found in the House of Commons- and nowhere else.
Planners looking to put delegates up in a charming corner of the Cotswolds will be wooed by its history, pretty interiors, and echoes of Regency England.
