What’s new? THE QUEENS HOTEL IN CHELTENHAM REVEALS ROYAL CORONATION PACKAGE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2024 First opening its doors on the 21st of July 1838, and named in honour of Queen Victoria whose coronation fell in the same year, The Queens Hotel in Cheltenham has royal roots running throughout. One of the first purpose-built hotels in Europe, this quintessential British retreat is situated at the south end of the popular Promenade in this Regency town. The hotel’s impressive Palladian facade exudes elegance and grandeur from the moment guests walk in. The hotel has launched the ‘Royal Coronation Package’ which is available to book now and is valid for stays until 29th February 2024, excluding weekends, during the Bath markets and the festive season in December. This package is based on two guests sharing a classic bedroom for a minimum of two nights, including breakfast. As part of the royal Coronation Package, guests can enjoy a day out at the Slimbridge Wetlands Centre, where King Charles III is the Royal patron of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, the perfect treat for wedding guests.

Following a hugely successful launch last year, the outdoor garden has now reopened with a delicious new menu and an exciting new programme of events including live music, prosecco on tap and bottomless afternoon tea. It provides an outdoor sanctuary in the heart of historic Cheltenham. The theme for this year’s garden menu and events is centred around getting together and sharing. It’s the perfect place for friends and family to meet to enjoy delicious food in the sunshine. The new seasonal menu focuses on local provenance and features dishes such as Thai-style mussels served with crusty bread designed for two to share; succulent lemon-fried tiger prawns and a delicious rosemary and garlic-baked camembert, perfect for sharing as the evenings become warmer. The pièce de résistance is the Chinese-style barbecue pork bao bun, served alongside pickled red cabbage and garlic fried pak choi. The quirky and popular horsebox bar makes a return and the team will be serving cocktails and vodka spritzes from new UK-based partner Edwards alongside the best of British, with English wines such as Folc Rosé and local beers like Hawkstone Lager from the Cotswold Brewery, as well as other summer classics. The Horsebox bar is home to ‘Prosecco on tap’ and, new for this year, guests can enjoy limitless prosecco with nibbles from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm every Monday to Friday, perfect for those who enjoy a post-work pick-me-up. At just £20 each for two hours, guests will have the option of pouring prosecco for themselves from the tap or having the team serve it to them. Guests can also enjoy a bottomless afternoon tea in the garden, with 90 minutes of unlimited top-ups of chilled prosecco, freshly made sandwiches and sweet treats every day from 12 noon to 4:00 pm.
