The Diner at the George Hotel

Perfectly placed in the heart of town, this 46-bedroom, design-led hotel puts guests in the ideal spot to explore all that Cheltenham has to offer.

When it comes to the bedrooms, aesthetics are pivotal. The focus is on raw materials to create a tip-top stay, with ultra-comfy Hypnos mattresses, rainfall showers complete with thoughtful skincare products, and hi-speed Wi-Fi throughout.

Life is made easy with automatic check-in, and when it’s time to depart, a drop-and-go card system puts guests fully in control of their checkout. For those who prefer a friendly face, a member of the team is always on hand.

For laid-back dining at its best, the breakfast diner serves the most important meal of the day the Cotswolds way. It’s the perfect place to enjoy everything from hearty full English breakfasts to a quick coffee and croissant. And for midnight snacks, The Pantry is open 24 hours a day, stocked with snacks, light bites and everyday essentials.

Four-legged friends are very welcome, much to the delight of Autumn, the resident pooch. A selection of dog-friendly bedrooms ensures pups are well catered for, with each stay including a dog bed or blanket, bowl and tasty treats.

Nearby dog walks include Autumn’s favourites: Imperial & Montpellier Gardens and Sandford Park. For those visiting towards the end of summer, Sandford Parks Lido is a must, thanks to its end-of-season dog swim days.

Guests are also encouraged to visit local dog boutique Be More Bob for a Cheltenham-inspired take-home gift for their pup.

And, as the hotel is just a short drive from the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there’s no shortage of muddy paw walkies to enjoy — miles and miles of them.
