21 stops on your UK tour
Each of our 21 QHotels offers the same sort of 4 star extravaganza, but in very different ways. Some are tucked into the most jaw-dropping countryside, some are surrounded by lively city bustle. Each is an inviting as a crisply made, feather-soft bed (which is just what you’ll find in your room).
Staying in QHotels may become the teensiest bit of a compulsion, as you wallow in splendiferousness, so why not visit them all? We also hope you’ll use staying in a QHotel as an excuse to explore and discover this beautiful, fascinating, entertaining land of ours, and combine indulgence with adventure.
In fact, a UK tour with 21 stops should just about do it. Roam the length and breadth of the UK, from lovely Lanarkshire, through the cosmopolitan delights of Leeds and Manchester, down into Cheshire, onto the Cotswolds, through Hampshire and Oxfordshire to Kent.
There’s so much to see, do, hear, taste and enjoy along the way, though don’t be surprised if the thing you like best of all is your QHotel room.
