Opened in 1838, and named in honour of Queen Victoria, The Queens Hotel Cheltenham is situated in the heart of Cheltenham and is the ideal choice to indulge in the quintessentially British tradition of afternoon tea.

The historic hotel exudes timeless elegance and charm and is located on one of Cheltenham’s most beautiful Regency streets, overlooking the Imperial Square and Gardens. Take a seat in Duke’s Tea Room, in Victoria’s Restaurant or in the garden during summer months and sample the exquisite afternoon tea on offer.

Start with an enticing selection of traditional dainty finger sandwiches filled with the finest ingredients, including smoked salmon and cream cheese, and honey roast ham. Then savour the freshly baked scones, accompanied by clotted cream and homemade preserves. Next comes the pièce de résistance - a stunning array of pastries and cakes, perfect for those with a sweet tooth. These are not only a feast for the eyes but also a delight for your taste buds. The pastry chefs have crafted a selection of delectable desserts including eclairs, tarts, and macarons. Each treat is a work of art and a delicious surprise.

To accompany your Afternoon Tea, choose from a wide range of specialty loose-leaf teas from local suppliers Newby. Or, for an extra touch of luxury, opt for a glass of sparkling Prosecco, Champagne or a cocktail.

Children can also enjoy their very own 'Alice in Wonderland' Afternoon Tea menu, including a variety of sandwiches and sweet treats all topped off with a hot chocolate.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to treat yourself, afternoon tea is a delightful tradition that captures the essence of British hospitality and The Queens Hotel is the ideal spot to enjoy it.
