EspañolMONTPELLIER, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
'Montpellier' is an area of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, at the end of the Promenade south of the town centre. Originally developed in the 1830s in conjunction with the spas, it is now known for its bars, cafés, restaurants and range of specialist shops.
Montpellier bars include ''The Montpellier Wine Bar'' [1], ''The Rotunda Tavern'', ''The Salisbury'', ''O'Neill's'' and ''Ha-Ha Bar'', with ''The Circus Bar'' at the lower end of Montpellier Street.
Eating establishments include ''The Joy'' (Indian), ''Le Quinze'' (French), ''The Mandarin Kite'' (Cantonese), and ''Strada''. Monpellier is home to several clothing boutiques, a traditional sweet shop, a couple of jewellers and two well stocked cook shops. The Post Office and the butchers closed in 2005.
Montpellier Walk, designed by W.H. Knight in 1840, is noted for the caryatids supporting the shop fronts. It leads to the Montpellier Spa, built for Henry Thompson by George Allen Underwood in 1817 with its distinctive Rotunda added by John Buonarotti Papworth as a pump room in 1825. It is now a branch of Lloyds TSB bank. Opposite are Montpellier Gardens, also laid out by Papworth.
