How To Find Us


The Hotel is situated in the centre of one of Europe's most splendid 18th Century architectural masterpieces - the Royal Crescent. Should you arrive by car, you will be greeted by a member of the Concierge team who will ensure valet parking during your stay.

The hotel is a short (10 minute) walk from the city centre and Bath Spa railway station. Bath's many museums, antique dealers, theatre and shopping opportunities are all on the doorstep. Meanwhile the hotel provides the ideal base from which to explore nearby places of interest such as the Cotswolds, Stonehenge, Cheddar Gorge, Longleat House and Prior Park.

By road
Following the usual route signs into Bath from the M4 may cause you delays as the traffic can be heavy and the one-way system sometimes frustrating. We have therefore put together a special route (usually used by Bathonians) from the M4 to The Royal Crescent, which should be trouble-free and, all things considered, should bring you safely to our doors from the M4 in about 20 minutes.

From Junction 18 follow the A46 towards Bath for approximately 2.5 miles. You will pass The Crown Inn on your left and then the beautiful Dyrham Park and the Tollgate Teashop on your right.

Immediately after The Tollgate Teashop, take a right turn (there are no directional signs). Continue along the twisty road for approximately 1.5 miles until you arrive at a T-junction.

At the T-junction turn right (signposted Bristol A420), then immediately left to Hamswell. Follow the twisty road past Toghill Farm on your right, down the hill and up another hill to a T-junction (approx. 1.5 miles).

At the T-junction turn left up the hill, following the signs to “Lansdown and Bath”.

Continue along this road for the next couple of miles; you will drive along passing Lansdown Golf Club and Bath Racecourse on the right. Continue past The Blathwayt Arms pub on the right and then on to the city outskirts. As you enter the city you will pass the Hare and Hounds pub on the left.

The road continues downhill until you reach another T-junction with a church to the left.

Turn right at the T-junction and then drive down the hill, passing The Farmhouse Inn on the left and then two pubs on the right -The Belvedere on the corner of Morford Street and The Grappa bar near the corner of Julian Road. Continue past Julian Road on your right.

Take the right turn into Bennett Street (street name carved into the stone at first floor level). Pass Russell Street and Circus Mews on your right.

Drive into The Circus (Georgian houses built in a circle).

Take the second exit out of The Circus into Brock Street.

Drive straight onto the cobbled road of the Royal Crescent at the end of Brock Street, by the telephone box. Drive towards the centre of the Crescent. The hotel is Number 16, adjacent to the large magnolia tree. Please park your car at the front of the hotel and our Concierge will valet park it for you.
