Montpellier Rotunda, Grade I listed Regency building in Montpellier district, Cheltenham, England
The Montpellier Rotunda features limestone walls topped with a copper roof, incorporating a Doric column colonnade and a central wooden dome with a lantern.
The original wooden pavilion built in 1809 by Henry Thompson was reconstructed in stone by 1817, with architect George Allen Underwood adding distinctive architectural elements.
The building functioned as a pump room and ballroom, hosting notable performances including a concert by Jenny Lind in 1848 and Gustav Holst's Scherzo in 1891.
The structure now houses a restaurant from The Ivy collection, which conducted extensive restoration work after taking occupancy in 2017.
The central dome, added in 1826 by architect John Buonarotti Papworth, mirrors the proportions of Rome's Pantheon and allows natural light through its central lantern.
