Discover Cotswold Hotels

The days when the phrase “English hotel” struck fear into the heart of the international traveller are long gone and it can be said confidently that Cotswold hotels have led the way in changing this perception.

These days the Cotswolds are chic, with the rich and famous choosing to live here. Not surprisingly, the local hotel and restaurant culture has kept up with the pace and so you will find cutting edge designer hotels, Cotswold manor house hotels and smart town house hotels all competing for your attention.

Our Cotswold hotels include Britain’s oldest (The Royalist in Stow), GQ magazine’s ‘Coolest Hotel in the World’ (Cowley Manor) and discreet traditional favourites such as the Lords of the Manor Hotel and Lygon Arms. Some hotels may be haunted, others offer inglenook fireplaces and traditional country sports, but everyone is agreed that standards have never been so high. For the price of a room in London, we’ve noticed that many vacationers are choosing a Cotswold Manor House Hotel suite instead – and who can blame them, when London can be reached in 90 minutes.

The hotels in the Cotswolds compete to offer award-winning food in glorious settings. The key change has been the rebirth of interest in locally produced food and drink – hotel chefs are working with the best materials in the most inspiring Cotswold settings.

Indulgence and relaxation are important aspects of the Cotswold experience – spa facilities are becoming very popular, with many of the Cotswolds hotels offering pampering sessions to its visitors. After a day exploring the Cotswolds, return to the hotel to enjoy a relaxing spa session.

The choice is yours in the Cotswolds, a quaint traditional hotel or a Royal welcome in a castle or manor hotel!
