A Business Traveller’s Guide to Cheltenham: Where to Stay and Work Remotely

Cheltenham isn’t just a beautiful Regency town; it’s fast becoming a smart choice for modern business travellers. Whether you’re here for meetings, an extended work assignment, or a mix of business and leisure, the town’s connectivity, cultural energy, and walkable layout make it an exceptional base.

And when it comes to accommodation, serviced apartments like Strozzi Palace Suites and Crescent Place by Mansley offer something far more practical and far more comfortable than a typical hotel room. With flexible spaces, reliable connectivity, and the privacy to work, unwind, or cook at your own pace, they’re the perfect solution for professionals who expect more from where they stay.

Why Cheltenham Works for Business

Strategically located between Bristol and Birmingham, with regular trains to London Paddington, Cheltenham offers all the convenience of a larger business hub, just with a better view. The town centre is only a short drive or 20-minute walk from Cheltenham Spa railway station, connecting you quickly to the UK’s major cities.

The town also has a growing corporate and events scene. From major conferences at Cheltenham Town Hall and Pittville Pump Room, to networking events in boutique venues and hotels, there’s a steady flow of business-focused activity year-round. It’s also the home of GCHQ and a burgeoning cybersecurity scene, making it particularly relevant for tech professionals.

The Benefits of Serviced Apartments for Business Travel

For travellers who need space, flexibility and peace of mind, serviced apartments simply work better. At both Strozzi Palace Suites and Crescent Place, you’ll find rooms with good Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and kitchen facilities that allow you to work or relax on your own terms.

Here you’re not limited to just a room. You’ll have the freedom to live and work comfortably  from quiet Zoom calls to relaxed mornings with a coffee in hand. Each suite is entirely self-contained, with no shared spaces or noisy corridors, offering the perfect balance of privacy and focus.

Strozzi Palace Suites offers individually designed studios and one-bedroom apartments in the heart of the town, ideal for short or mid-length stays. Meanwhile, Crescent Place offers stylish two-bedroom apartments, particularly well-suited to longer visits or those travelling with colleagues.

Working Remotely in Cheltenham

If you do want a change of scenery, Cheltenham offers plenty of places to work remotely. Hub8 is a standout coworking space in Brewery Quarter, offering day passes, meeting rooms, and a buzzing environment ideal for networking and deep work alike.

For a more relaxed workspace, Boston Tea Party  just off the High Street offers strong coffee, reliable Wi-Fi and plenty of space to set up for a couple of hours.

Looking for a drop-in professional environment? The Clockwise Cheltenham – offers private desks and calm, well-appointed spaces without the commitment of long-term membership — perfect for project work or catching up on admin between appointments.

After Work: Dining, Culture, and Recharge Time

One of Cheltenham’s great strengths is how easy it is to transition from work to relaxation. Everything you need is within walking distance.

For an elegant dinner or client meal, The Ivy Montpellier Brasserie provides timeless style and an all-day menu. Just around the corner, Kibou Japanese Kitchen is perfect for fresh sushi and light bites in a low-key setting. Prefer something quick and casual? Grab a takeaway from Bangkok Thai and enjoy it from the comfort of your apartment.

When it comes to culture, the Everyman Theatre is a five-minute stroll from Strozzi Palace and offers everything from stand-up comedy to classic plays and touring musicals. For fresh air between meetings or at the end of the day, Imperial Gardens and nearby Montpellier offer space to walk, think, or simply take a break in nature.

If staying active is important to your routine, local gyms like F45 Training Center and the seasonal Sandford Parks Lido are just a short distance away — and ideal for morning workouts before a packed day.
