Crimson Spire rooftop bar
With its uber-stylish interior design and stunning views of the city skyline, Hotel Indigo's rooftop bar, Crimson Spire, provides an enviable location for a modern micro-wedding or private party.
The floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound outdoor terrace mean there are no end of fantastic photography spots, with Gloucester Cathedral providing a spectacular backdrop.
While the 'retro glam' mid-century-inspired interior offers a sense of luxury, with plush velvets, a rich colour palette and a reverent nod to Gloucester's heritage – perfect for design-conscious couples.
The flexibly designed space can accommodate the most intimate celebrations with a seamlessly separated private section for up to 30 guests, or up to 150 guests for those preferring exclusive-use of the whole rooftop bar.
Putting an elevated spin on party food, Crimson Spire's menu specialises in small plates that champion local produce. Guests can enjoy tucking into everything from bar bites like popcorn shrimp, pulled beef short ribs or Korean-inspired gochujang-glazed tofu, to tapas-style plates of satay chicken, corn ribs, crab cakes and seasoned fries.
And from classic cocktails to an expertly curated wine and spirits list, whether you're planning a Champagne reception to toast the happy couple, or a classy cocktail party as the sun sets, Crimson Spire has it covered.

With more floor-to-ceiling windows offering a striking vista, framing Gloucester Cathedral's imposing tower perfectly, it's a modern and stylish space for more low-key but memorable celebrations.
