Hotel du Vin Cheltenham has welcomed Chris Thompson as general manager.

Responsible for driving the business forward, Thompson will oversee the day to day operations of the hotel and the development of his team to ensure that the hotel continues to deliver the great food and wine coupled with faultless service it is known and loved for. 

He joins from Malmaison, Hotel du Vin’s sister brand, where he had been since April 2013, most recently as deputy general manager of Malmaison Leeds.

Just a short stroll from the fashionable shopping street, The Promenade, in the chic Montpellier district, Hotel du Vin sits proudly with a classic Georgian exterior and a warm and welcoming interior.

It offers the perfect place to relax with a delicious meal, have a private meeting or enjoy a cigar in the snug cigar shack.

Nick Halliday, chief operations officer, Hotel du Vin, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chris to the brand.

“He’s done some excellent work at Malmaison and we believe he’ll be a real asset to both the hotel and the brand.

“I look forward to working with him.”
