The Queens Hotel in Cheltenham has been sold to KE Hotels this July 2025.
Expanding its portfolio, which includes four owned and three managed hotels in the UK, as well as eight hotels which it owns in the USA, KE Hotels says it plans to build on The Queens Hotel's heritage.
The Queens Hotel is an iconic landmark in the centre of Cheltenham and is widely regarded as one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the Regency town.
The Grade II listed building has 84 bedrooms and sits within an acre of land overlooking Imperial Square.
Josh Watts, chief operating officer at KE Hotels, said: 'To own a hotel of such historic standing in the centre of one of the UK’s most iconic spa towns is a real privilege. We’re excited to work alongside a fantastic onsite team to build on the hotel’s heritage and deliver an exceptional guest experience.'
KE Hotels says the acquisition demonstrates its 'ongoing commitment to expanding its presence in the key regional locations', with its strategy focused on growth and operational performance.
Including The Queens Hotel, the company also owns Holiday Inn Luton Airport, Hotel Indigo Newcastle, Lindon Lodge Oxford, Moxy Manchester and a collection of eight hotels in California.
It also manages Hampton by Hilton hotels in Birmingham, Newcastle and Sheffield.
KE Hotels' managing director, Anil Khanna, added: 'This is an exciting time for KE Hotels as we continue to build momentum in our growth strategy. The addition of The Queens Hotel Cheltenham not only strengthens our owned portfolio but also reflects our long-term vision of acquiring and managing distinctive properties in strategic UK destinations.
'We’re incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made and the team that’s driving it forward.'
