Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- Page number 10 - August/September 2021 (Issue 28)

THE GEORGE LAUNCHES NEW HOTEL CONCEPT The George is the first hotel within the design-led Cult Hotels collection and it’s located in Cheltenham. It occupies five Grade II listed Regency townhouses accommodating 46 bedrooms and all rooms feature comfortable beds, showers and super-fast WiFi. Combining signature style with the simplicity of self-service, The George offers a new way to stay with contactless check-in, a 24-hour pantry and drop-and-go check-out. Owner Julian Dunkerton, who runs the hotel with his wife Jade, tells us, “The name Cult Hotels is a nod to my history and where it all began for me, naturally Cheltenham is home to the flagship hotel – The George. As an entrepreneur, I identified a gap in the market to create a new hotel concept that is accessible, approachable and cool. Cult Hotels exists for the savvy traveller who values aesthetic and culture at a fair price. My ambition with this venture is to continue to breathe new life into old buildings and bring a game-changing hotel concept to the marketplace.” Room categories and rates start from £105.
