A trio of beautiful Georgian
townhouses set on the prome- nade in the heart of cosmopol-
itan Cheltenham, No 131 is T e Lucky Onion’s fl agship hotel. Owned
by the entrepreneurial
couple Julian Dunkerton — best known as the founder and CEO of Superdry — and his wife, fashion designer Jade Holland Cooper, No 131 is considered Cheltenham’s favourite place to stay and opens a new world of aspirational dining experiences in a unique and exquisite setting.
T e 36 spacious and cosy guest
rooms across the property are conceived with consistent individu- ality across the designs, sporting bold colours. Unique furniture fi lls the space — think exposed-brick walls, pendant lights mixed with cornices, antique doors and framed beetles and moths, plundered from artisans’ workshops and antique stores. Every detail is accounted for with each room kitted out with sumptuous Egyptian bed linen, heavenly Aqua de Parma products and either stroll-in double
showers or roll-top baths, where you can soak away stresses before getting dressed up for a night out. Food is a big thing at No 131.
Whether it’s a New York-inspired breakfast, Japanese sushi at the newly opened signature fi ne-dining experi- ence YOKU, a special 131 house blend coff ee on the terrace or an indulgent lunch, look no further than No 131. At night, meanwhile, these buzzing spaces transform into intimate hide- aways, where both locals and guests relax side by side.
Downstairs at No 131 is Gin & Juice,
voted 2022 Best Gin Bar in the UK is Cheltenham’s hotspot. During the day,
tuck into beautiful brunches,
super smoothies and the fi nest artisan coff ees. Come evening, it’s time to party. Work your way through the free-fl owing drinks list of more than 400 gins (and growing) before retiring to the quietude of your room. No 131 is the Cotswolds’ embodi-
ment of heritage in harmony. Make a booking now for the chance to experi- ence sincere hospitality as it once was.
