The Hotel is situated in the centre of one of Europe’s most splendid 18th century architectural masterpieces – the Royal Crescent in Bath.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city centre and Bath Spa railway station. The City of Bath is a hive of activity with unlimited shopping opportunities, wine bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, the Hotel provides the ideal base from which to explore nearby places of interest such as the Cotswolds, Wells, Stonehenge and Longleat House.
