Spa Hotels and Spas in Cheltenham: 12 spas found

To set the scene, Cheltenham is perhaps best known for the Cheltenham Festival - a four day event of horse racing and jumping at Cheltenham Racecourse. Its equestrian heritage has made it the inspiration for many a fictional story, and it is also one of the things that has attracted many a celebrity (and royal) to reside in the area.

Cheltenham is also known for Regency buildings, including the Pittville Pump Room. It was the last and largest of the Cheltenham spa buildings to be built in the town to allow visitors and residents to take advantage of the area’s mineral waters, which had been celebrated since 1716. So you know you’re in good company for wellness getaways.

This is very much a part of the UK that’s associated with luxury. The area is well known for Michelin-starred restaurants, locally grown food and award-winning hotels and spas. It has a buzzy nightlife with bars and nightclubs, but is also a family-friendly destination and wonderful for special occasions. It’s also within easy reach of London both by train and by car.

Spa days in Cheltenham and the surrounding area reflect that diversity of experience. Choose from modern destinations and country house hotels, those close to the town itself and everything that it has to offer, as well as those that are surrounded by tranquil and perfectly manicured grounds and countryside close by.
