The Mercure Cheltenham Queen's Hotel occupies a Grade II listed building dating from the mid-19th century, situated in Charlton Kings on the quieter outskirts of Cheltenham.
The classical architecture that defined the original structure has been preserved throughout, giving the hotel genuine character alongside modern comforts. Guest rooms are well-appointed, and there's a restaurant and bar for dining and relaxation.
What makes this location particularly useful is its position between two worlds. Charlton Kings has a distinctly residential, local feel that provides genuine respite from crowds, yet Cheltenham town centre is only a short distance away. The town itself is worth exploring—it's famous for its Regency-era buildings, offers solid shopping and dining options, and hosts a varied calendar of events ranging from cultural festivals to the prestigious Gold Cup horse racing. The wider Cotswolds open up easily from here too, meaning you can base yourself at the hotel and take day trips out to villages and countryside without much travel time.
Whether you're after a peaceful retreat or a convenient staging point for exploring the region more widely, the hotel delivers on both fronts. The combination of straightforward, honest hospitality with a genuine historical setting and strategic location makes it a practical choice that doesn't compromise on character.
