No.131

No.131 is a luxury townhouse hotel set across three grand Georgian buildings on Cheltenham’s iconic Promenade. Behind its classic Regency façade, the interiors are contemporary, layered and design-led – balancing historic architectural bones with a confident, modern energy.

One of the townhouses is dedicated to weddings and private events and is available for exclusive use to create a celebration that feels personal and self-contained. At the same time, the wider hotel provides a vibrant backdrop – stylish bedrooms, lively bars and restaurants, and a sense of atmosphere that elevates the occasion beyond a standalone venue.

The result is a setting that feels both intimate and alive: private yet connected, refined yet relaxed.

No. 131 is licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 60 guests, with ceremonies typically held in the elegant Dining Room within the dedicated townhouse. The space offers an intimate setting, framed by Georgian proportions and contemporary design details.

For couples seeking a traditional church wedding, No.131 has a close relationship with Dowdeswell Church, a picturesque Cotswold church just 15 minutes away. The team can coordinate guest transport to and from the ceremony, allowing couples to combine a classic church service with a reception at No. 131.

At No.131, receptions are designed to build energy as the day unfolds. Following the wedding breakfast, guests can spill into the hotel’s stylish breakout spaces – from the relaxed Lounge to the vibrant Front Terrace, or cocktails at Bar Tokyo – keeping the atmosphere social and fluid.

As evening sets in, the Dining Room is transformed into a dedicated dancefloor, shifting the tone from elegant dining to full celebration mode. Lighting lowers, music rises, and the space becomes a high-energy party setting where guests can dance late into the night. It’s a reception that feels less like a formal function and more like the best night out – elevated, effortless and unforgettable.

No. 131 offers the rare advantage of on-site accommodation, allowing weddings to extend over several days rather than a single event. The dedicated event townhouse features eight bedrooms, giving couples the option of exclusive use of the building for their closest friends and family.

In addition, the wider hotel offers a further 28 bedrooms across the adjoining townhouses, providing ample space for guests to stay together under one roof.

With beautifully designed rooms just steps from the celebration, couples can host rehearsal dinners the evening before, gather on the wedding day, and reconvene for breakfast the following morning – creating a relaxed, immersive experience.

At No.131, exceptional food and drink are already built in. With two on-site restaurants and established kitchen teams, no external catering is required. Everything is delivered by experienced chefs who operate at the heart of the hotel.

Menus are made bespoke, with the team working closely with each couple to curate food that reflects their style and their guests. From elegant sushi platters and Japanese-inspired dishes to refined, classic European cuisine, each element can be tailored – whether for rehearsal dinners, wedding breakfasts or late-night bites. The result is restaurant-quality dining within a wedding setting, seamlessly executed and thoughtfully designed around the celebration.

No.131 is set in the heart of Cheltenham, making it both picturesque and practical. Just two hours from London by road and easily reached by direct train services to Cheltenham Spa, it offers the convenience that city-based couples value without compromising on charm.

Located on the town’s most stylish street, the hotel sits at the centre of Cheltenham’s Regency architecture, independent boutiques and vibrant restaurant scene. Guests benefit from the energy of a lively town setting while remaining moments from the rolling countryside of the Cotswolds.
