Luxury serviced apartments group Mansley has expanded into Cheltenham by acquiring a property modelled on one of the most important examples of Renaissance architecture in Florence.
Serviced Apartments by Mansley’s purchase of Strozzi Palace in the cultural centre of the Cotswolds comes just six months after it acquired Highland Apartments in Inverness. It also owns and operates top-of-the range properties in Edinburgh and London’s Kensing-ton and Mayfair.
Strozzi Palace consists of six opulent suites, named after Italian cities or regions, under a minute’s walk from Regency Cheltenham’s Promenade. Built in 1894, its Grade II listed ‘Palazzo’ façade is based on Florence’s 15th century Palazzo Strozzi.
Features include leather sofas, wood flooring, Egyptian cotton bed linen, Super King beds, free Wi-Fi, a choice of complimentary continental breakfast, daily maid service, free parking and free access to a local gym and swimming pool. Two suites have private balconies.
Sir Richard Rowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mansley Group Holdings, commented: “We are proud to add Strozzi Palace to our growing portfolio of luxury apart-ments which provide more space and flexibility than traditional hotel rooms. It combines classic Italian style with our outstanding reputation for the best customer service.”
He added: “Strozzi Palace also offers our guests another marvellous leisure destination, famous for cultural and sporting festivals, just over an hour from Bristol and Birmingham and under two hours from London.“
