The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa

Jump to:

Occupying the middle of the historic crescent from which it takes its name, the Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa boasts a broad view of Bath’s skyline and is close to the city’s main sights. Decorated by a local interior designer with elegant furnishings in a country-manor style, this grand property is upscale in every sense and featured in a BBC adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. The 45 rooms are either traditionally designed or more contemporary in style, yet all are luxurious and generous in size.

Uncommonly for a hotel in the heart of the city, the property has a garden. Lavender beds and hidden seating areas create an outdoor retreat, with hammocks to laze in. In the summer, you can enjoy your meal or afternoon tea from the property’s award-winning restaurant there.

OUR OPINION:

A truly deluxe property in the heart of Bath with wonderful views and excellent service.

Some are traditional while others are more contemporary, and all are different in their decor.

Bath’s other main sights, including the Jane Austen Centre, the Roman Baths and Thermae Bath Spa, can all be reached on foot in 5 to 15 minutes.

For afternoon tea and dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, you can dine at the Dower House Restaurant, whose culinary expertise has earned it a triple AA Rosette award. In summer, you can opt to eat out in the private gardens. The Montagu Bar & Champagne Lounge offers all-day dining as well as award-winning drinks crafted by a master mixologist.
