Scene
Modern boutique hotel with chic, rustic decor and a romantic vibe
No. 38 The Park is a charming boutique hotel set in a beautiful white Georgian town house. It offers a few stylish public spaces, like the chic lobby lounge that has a vintage vibe, with weathered wooden floors, tiered chandeliers, and roll-arm sofas nestled around a fireplace. A few metallic and industrial touches, like a coffee table with hairpin legs, keep things from getting cutesy. The hotel's dining room has a lovely skylight that illuminates wooden pedestal tables, emerald-green banquettes, and leather chairs with nailhead trim. Breakfast can be served on the outdoor patio, which has plenty of shade. The honesty bar is housed in a trendy room with a communal wooden table, green leather chairs, a fireplace, and a flat-screen TV -- a perfect space for mingling. Take note that the hotel doesn’t have an elevator, which might not suit guests with mobility issues. Though the property mostly attracts couples on a romantic getaway, it can also be rented entirely for events, parties, or large groups.
Location
Within walking distance of the city center, shopping, and dining options
No 38 sits in a quiet neighborhood in Cheltenham, across the street from Pittville Park. There’s a few dining options on surrounding streets, and more within a five-minute walk of the property. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the city center from here. Travelers can reach the Cheltenham Raceourse within 20 minutes on foot. Other nearby attractions include Sudeley Castle, which is about a 15- to 20-minute drive, and Gloucester Cathedral, a 26-minute drive away. London's Heathrow International Airport is under a two-hour drive, while Luton Airport is a bit over two hours. London can be reached in two hours and 15 minutes, or a bit under three hours by public transportation.
Rooms
Romantic rooms with flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, minibars, and turndown service
Rooms at No 38 The Park are romantic and stylish, with elegant contemporary decor. No two are exactly the same, but all share similar features, like beds topped with Egyptian cotton linens and turquoise or blue blankets, carpets or wooden floors, chic lamps, and padded headboards. There are plenty of exquisite details like antique radiators and slipper tubs from the 1800s. The amenities are top-notch too, including flat-screen Loewe TVs with Sky entertainment and Apple TV’s library of movies, free Wi-Fi, Nespresso machines, minibars, and snacks. A turndown service that includes warm milk and hot-chocolate sticks doesn’t hurt either. Bathrooms are spacious and beautiful, with exquisite tiling. Like the rooms, each bathroom is different; some have open showers with waterfall showerheads, while others sport large antique porcelain tubs. Hairdryers, robes, and 100 Acres toiletries are provided.
Features
Pre-breakfast snack, turndown service, and free breakfast buffet, plus an honesty bar
Though features are fairly limited at this small hotel, its attention to detail is excellent, from the pre-breakfast tray with mini-croissants and orange juice delivered to rooms in the mornings, to the turndown service that includes warm milk and hot-chocolate sticks. A free breakfast buffet is also provided, though the cooked breakfast costs an extra fee. Though there’s no restaurant on-site, No 38 The Park provides free taxi rides to its sister hotel, No 131, which does have a restaurant. There's also a well-stocked honesty bar on-site. Limited parking is available for a fee. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
