The '99' steps lead directly into the Malvern Hills from right beside the gate - yet the hotel is situated at the crossroads in Central Malvern within a few minutes' walk of shops, theatre, pool and gardens.

It is an excellent centre for touring the Cathedral cities of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester.

Local attractions are Eastnor Castle, Ledbury and, just an hour's drive, the Cotswold villages.

Malvern Theatres is one of the country's leading regional venues, delightfully situated in the shadow of the famous Malvern hills .

Its three auditoria comprise two 800-seat theatres: one a traditional Victorian proscenium arch theatre; the other a modern versatile space with adaptable seating. It is also home to a 400-seat cinema.

The Three Counties Showground is only 2 miles away, and the Great Malvern Station is a short walk from the hotel.
