Formerly the Savoy Hotel, now the Malmaison Hotel, this villa in Bayshill Road was built in 1847. There have been later additions and alterations including a conservatory of circa 1875, additional rear ranges of circa 1890s and 20th century rear additions. Constructed of stuccoed brick under slate roofs with a central Corinthian porch. Many original internal features and fitings remain. Bayshill Road has been described as 'one of the great roads for architecture in all England'. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1386741 Cheltenham is located at the foot of the Cotswold scarp with the small River Chelt flowing through the town. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 Cheltenham became a spa town and many Regency houses and other buildings were erected. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, four days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at the nearby racecourse.
