First Impressions


My first impressions of Malvern were of the hills, which rise surprisingly steeply at the edge of the town.

From the top of these hills are great views of the Vale of Evesham and the rolling Herefordshire countryside. For a small town, there is quite a lot going on in Malvern, especially at the local theatre which has some very good productions, the kind usually only seen in major cities.

My first impression of the Abbey Hotel was… WOW! It is becoming increasingly rare to find hotels with character. In fact, in many hotels that I have worked at, it is often difficult to tell exactly which hotel you are in, let alone what your room number is. The bedrooms here are all different, many having lovely views over either the Malvern Hills or the Vale of Evesham.

The meeting rooms also have a much more interesting view than what you would find in many other hotels. Be honest, what would be nicer… attending a meeting in a room with plenty of natural daylight and ventilation overlooking an historic priory or struggling to stay focussed in a stuffy room with artificial lighting and the dull hum of the air conditioning?

Why not come to the Abbey Hotel in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, and experience your own first impression of a hotel full of character, set in an interesting little town.
