About
What Hotel Melody is
Hotel Melody is an independent luxury glampsite on the edge of Glastonbury Festival. Behind the gates: a swimming pool with valley views, a wellness spa with hot tubs, wood-fired saunas and resident therapists, a full-service restaurant and cocktail bar, a resident DJ programme running daily, and a blow dry bar and makeup studio for when the evening calls for it.
It is entirely independent of Glastonbury Festival Ltd and holds no official affiliation.
A Hotel Melody pass includes accommodation, private 24-hour transport to and from the festival, and a Hotel Melody wristband. Glastonbury Festival tickets are not included and must be bought separately.
The first Hotel Melody ran in 2025 and sold out. It returns in 2027, after the festival’s fallow year.
What’s on-site?
Everything is within ninety seconds of everything else.
The Blue Note — a swimming pool with the valley below it and the festival lights in the distance.
Wellness — hot tubs, wood-fired saunas, sunrise yoga, and resident massage and spa therapists on site all weekend.
The Encore — a full-service restaurant running from first coffee to last order. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between, with dietary requirements catered for.
The Backbeat — a bar that doesn’t close. Champagne, cocktails made properly, and someone behind it at 4am.
Music — a resident DJ programme running daily, Thursday to Sunday.
Glam Jam and Disco Dust — a self-service blow dry bar, and resident hair and makeup artists bookable for the evening.
Practically: communal showers and toilets, private bathrooms in the lodges, baggage transport, on-site parking, and 24-hour security and stewarding for the duration. Helicopter transfers available on request.
Who Hotel Melody is for
Hotel Melody was built for the artists, creatives and cultural figures who shape the weekend from the inside — and for anyone who wants the festival on those terms.
Groups using Glastonbury as the reason to get everyone in one place. Couples treating it as a weekend away rather than an endurance test. Regulars who’ve done it the other way and aren’t going back. Whoever you are, you get a private, serviced base five minutes from the gates: your own bed, a hot shower, food, a pool, wellness and music on site — so you go in when you want to and come back when you’re ready. Kept deliberately small, Hotel Melody is family-friendly with no minimum age. Adults are responsible for supervising the children in their party at all times; the Lead Booker holds that responsibility for their group.

In the press
“Hotel Melody is a curated maze of luxury tents… Beyond the private bubbles of the tents lies the social heart of the site: a glamorous pool commanding sweeping views of festival lights… this is how to do Glasto like a VIP.” — Tatler
“Hotel Melody is the perfect place for those looking for a five-star experience away from the mud and grit of Worthy Farm… offering guests premium accommodation alongside a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, spa.” — Luxury London
“A short distance from the festival site, Hotel Melody’s chauffeur service can ensure you’re in the fields within five minutes – but, given the vast amount on offer at the accommodation, you might find leaving harder than expected.” — Condé Nast Traveller
