Georgian Grandeur at The Portland

183 years after first opening as a guesthouse, The Portland provides you with a home from home experience in a late-Georgian property.

From the moment you step inside you will feel a touch of Regency elegance. All seven ensuite bedrooms are thoughtfully styled to reflect the character of the building and each room has its own personality.

The comfortable bed will give you a peaceful night of sleep before you head out to enjoy Cheltenham. A leisurely stroll will reveal more beautiful Regency buildings including Pittville Pump Room.

"The building has been beautifully renovated and has fine period plasterwork on the ceilings and cornices. It was lovely to stay in such an historic home. Our twin room was spacious, characterful and comfortable and had everything we needed."
