Ellenborough Park Hotel, Cheltenham - Perfect Cotswold Breaks are Back!

Grifco is delighted to have been appointed as the PR agency for Ellenborough Park Hotel, located on the doorstep of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the world-famous Cheltenham Racecourse. The only five-star hotel in Cheltenham, Ellenborough Park’s lush grounds, forward-thinking al-fresco dining, spa and outdoor pool make it ideal for a dreamy English countryside break - with or without the family.

Accommodation

An elegant manor house dating back to the 15th century, the hotel combines tradition - with its wood panelling, open fireplaces and flagged floors - with contemporary design by Nina Campbell. The 61 charming bedrooms have spacious bathrooms with roll top bathtubs and heated marble floors, and there are family and dog-friendly rooms too, some with their own self-contained gardens which are perfect for furry friends.

Food

Whether you’re after a quintessentially British Afternoon tea in the majestic Great Hall, oak-panelled restaurant or casual dining in the Horse Box, the menu at Ellenborough Park is designed to appeal to wide tastes, using fresh and seasonal ingredients and with easy options for vegetarians and vegans. This summer guests can also opt to dine al fresco in new and quirky outdoor ‘carriages’ or in the Cedar Pavilion Tent.

Leisure

Racing enthusiasts can follow the private path from the hotel grounds directly to the neighbouring racecourse, whilst culture vultures might pay a visit to the nearby city of Cheltenham, famous for its history and festivals. Or if you prefer to immerse yourself in the country lifestyle all guests are encouraged to borrow a pair of Dubarry’s and wax jacket from the Boot Room and explore the rolling countryside: the estate is ideally situated in 90 acres of parkland at the bottom of Cleeve Hill.

Spa and wellness

With a newfound desire for conscious deceleration amongst us after lockdown, the Indian-themed spa coupled with its peaceful location make Ellenborough Park an idyllic retreat to reset and unwind. In addition to using the gym; relaxation room; sauna and steam room, guests can indulge in a restorative Elemis face or body treatment and take a dip in the heated outdoor pool or jacuzzi.

Ellenborough Park’s impressive heritage and location make it ideal for those wishing to immerse themselves in nature, but also enjoy the comfort of a hotel stay marked by friendly attention to detail and warm service.
