Hotel launches new health club following major refurb

Holiday Inn Gloucester-Cheltenham has unveiled its new Spirit Health Club following a major investment to transform the hotel’s health club and gym.

Completed ahead of schedule, the multimillion-pound refurbishment forms part of a continued investment programme by the group.

Now open to members and hotel guests, completion of the new Spirit Health Club marks the second refurbishment at the 4-star hotel in less than two years.

A modernisation programme for the hotel’s 129 bedrooms, entrance, outdoor areas and event spaces was completed in 2023.

The hotel is operated by Valor Hospitality which manages 40 hotels across the UK and Europe on behalf of well-known hotel brands.

Brian McCarthy, president at Valor Hospitality Europe, said: “Whether our guests at Holiday Inn Gloucester are visiting for business or pleasure, or are local members of our Spirit Health Club, they can enjoy a fitness and leisure suite that has been thoughtfully designed to optimise their health and wellbeing and provide an exceptional experience.”

Mark Pearson, head of leisure at Valor Hospitality Europe, added: “It’s a very proud moment as we unveil the newly refurbished Spirit Health Club at Holiday Inn Gloucester. The new health and leisure suite has been designed to be a welcoming, invigorating and relaxing space with specially curated state-of-the-art equipment, and perfectly represents our continued emphasis on enhancing our hotel portfolio.”
