Great Malvern is a town built around its hotels. There are a dozen or so places to stay here, ranging from the straightforward to the highly rated. The Great Malvern Hotel scores 4.6 from over 500 reviews, while the Cotford Hotel, The Marlbank Inn, and Copper Beech House all hold ratings of 4.9—the Cotford on the strength of more than 300 reviews. The Foley Arms Hotel Wetherspoon, a familiar chain presence, has drawn over 3,000 reviews at 4.0. This is clearly a town people come to base themselves in, rather than pass through.
The attractions here centre on the Malvern Hills. The Malvern Hills Spy Mission Treasure Trail offers an outdoor activity rated 4.5 from 99 reviews, suggesting it draws visitors who want to be active on the slopes. The Malvern Museum of Local History, rated 4.4 from 61 reviews, provides the alternative if the weather turns or you want to stay indoors. Both are modest in visitor volume by the numbers, but they anchor the town's appeal as a destination rather than merely a place to sleep.
