The Gloucestershire Hotel

The Gloucestershire Hotel is a European Plan hotel on Montego Bay’s lively Hip Strip, built around a classic, central base-for-exploring vibe steps from the sea.

Beach-at-your-doorstep location: The Gloucestershire Hotel sits on Gloucester Avenue with Doctor’s Cave Beach just across the road, making quick swim-and-sun breaks easy between outings. It’s also less than a mile from Sangster International Airport, which can be a real plus for short stays.

Refurbished, practical rooms: The property describes 93 newly refurbished rooms designed to feel modern and comfortable. In-room basics highlighted include air-conditioning, a safety deposit box, an iron/ironing board, and a 42-inch TV with cable channels.

On-site dining with personality: Waterfalls Restaurant is a signature feature, with cascading waterfalls as part of the setting, and it serves multiple meals. There’s also a bar called Drumbar plus a sidewalk café feel that fits the Hip Strip energy.

Facilities for downtime and work: Expect a swimming pool with mood lighting, a Jacuzzi, a gym with free weights and cardio machines, and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Business travelers get meeting options via two boardrooms and a conference room.

Potential street noise: Being on the Hip Strip can mean more pedestrian and vehicle activity, so light sleepers may want to plan accordingly.

Not an all-inclusive setup: As a European Plan property, meals and extras may not be bundled, which may feel less “resort-like” for some travelers.

Beach access is close, but not private: Doctor’s Cave Beach is extremely convenient, though it’s a public beach experience rather than a secluded, on-property shoreline.
