Thefenchurchhotel is a boutique resort and casino set behind a timber-framed front where the River Severn meets the Avon in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire — a warm floor of table games, a corner card room and rows of slots, wrapped in river-view suites, Gloucestershire dining and the quiet of a medieval market town. Small scale, properly done.
Thefenchurchhotel is a boutique resort and casino set behind a timber-framed merchant's front on Church Street, in the oldest quarter of Tewkesbury. Inside, a compact but properly-appointed casino floor opens off the hall — forty-six tables and gaming positions, a corner card room and rows of slot machines — with leaded windows looking down alleys that have carried foot traffic between the High Street and the water since the abbey was young.
This is the offline casino, scaled to a market town. Blackjack, roulette and baccarat are dealt across a warm, beamed pit; craps and sic bo add a bit of noise on a Friday; and the private Mythe Salons — named for the point where the Severn and Avon meet — keep higher stakes behind a heavy oak door. Every table is run by trained staff, stakes posted plainly, and a first visit made easy by hosts who know the room.
Around the gaming, the hotel keeps its own quiet rhythm: six restaurants and bars, a walled orchard garden for an evening drink, a spa built into the old millworks and a candlelit stage for the odd late set. A night at Thefenchurchhotel can be all casino or barely any — the alleys outside, and the choice, are entirely yours.
From the warm glow of the main room to the oak-door hush of a private salon, the casino at Thefenchurchhotel is arranged like the old town itself — table games, a corner card room and rows of slots, all within a few steps of Church Street.
The heart of Thefenchurchhotel: blackjack, roulette and baccarat across a warm beamed pit, with a gleaming bank of slots below leaded windows.

There's a difference between a casino on a screen and one you reach down a crooked timber-framed alley. At Thefenchurchhotel, the casino floor is a room you can feel — the clatter of chips, the turn of a wheel, low voices under old oak beams. This is a land-based casino built for a town that has watched the Severn and the Avon meet for a thousand years.
The gaming here is classic and unhurried. Take a seat at blackjack and play through a shoe, watch a run at baccarat, or step up to a high-limit table in the Mythe Salons. In the corner card room, cash games and weeknight heats keep a steady table; along the window, rows of slot machines and electronic terminals catch the last of the daylight. Every game is posted with clear stakes, and hosts are always glad to talk a newcomer through the rules.
Thefenchurchhotel is a proper resort in miniature — you needn't step outside all weekend. Play through the afternoon, dine on Gloucestershire produce, take a cider in the walled orchard at dusk and sleep behind thick old walls with the abbey bells for company. A short run from the M5 and a stone's throw from the Cotswolds, it turns an evening at the tables into a proper country break.
And because a good casino looks after its guests, care is built into every table. Set your own limits, take a break, or have a quiet word with a host whenever you like. Thefenchurchhotel is strictly 18+, with photo ID checked at the door — a warm, grown-up room where the game stays exactly that: a pleasure.
One hundred and eighteen rooms and suites sit above and around the casino, most looking out over rooftops to the orchards and the river beyond. After the last hand, bed is a short stair away — no taxi, no cold cobbles at midnight, just the quiet of an old market town settling for the night.
From a snug Orchard King to the corner Mythe Suite with its beamed ceiling and roll-top bath, every room makes a quiet case for staying one more night by the water — and playing one more session tomorrow.
At Thefenchurchhotel, looking after our guests is part of the welcome — a set of quiet safeguards that let everyone enjoy the evening with a clear head.
Set your own spend and time limits, request a timed pause, or arrange private self-exclusion whenever you choose — the choice always stays with you.
Our hosts on the floor are trained to notice first and listen without fuss. If something feels off, discreet support is always close at hand.
