and our Apart-Hotel suite concept is the future. We’ve worked hard to do this
jewel of a building justice. Whether you’re visiting Cheltenham for a break,
attending a racing meeting or here on business, Strozzi Palace Apart-Hotel
delivers. We offer everything you could need, in the perfect town centre
location just seconds from the Promenade - typically for less than the price
of a decent hotel room. We genuinely believe guests will find we’re

Strozzi Palace, Cheltenham: building history
Originally modelled on the Strozzi Palace in Florence, the three storey,
red-brick and stone Grade II listed building boasts a detailed
renaissance-style façade with arches and ornate cornice.
Constructed in 1894 and extended in 1900, the site provided Cheltenham’s
first electricity supply and subsequently power for the trams of Cheltenham’s
Light Railway Company. Following various roles spanning both World Wars the
building was finally vacated in 1959 - remaining unused for 49 years until
plans to create the Strozzi Palace Apart-Hotel Suites were finalised in
December 2007.
