The Imperial Hotel

Located adjacent to Stroud's main-line railway station, there are direct links to London's Paddington and all points west, plus of course, less regular but as reliable, the rest of the country. Once a coaching inn, from the moment you arrive, the Imperial wraps you in its warmth and friendliness. It is a hotel with a history spanning nearly 200 years and the gentle manners to match, is how one contented resident described it.

By car, we are just 10 minutes away from the M5 and 25 minutes away from the M4. Then again, the hotel is a perfect base to explore some of Englands most beautiful countryside, as well as providing direct access to several commercial centres.

Above all, the hotel has earned a reputation for offering a friendly, relaxed yet highly-efficient service. Each of 25 bedrooms is tastefully furnished - all featuring en suite bathrooms.
