The 5 Best Boutique Hotels in Bath

1. Gainsborough Bath Spa

guest room four-poster bed
Hotel phone: +44 1225 358 888
Bath’s most iconic luxury hotel and spa. Housed inside a grand 1820s hospital building in the heart of historic Bath, The Gainsborough pays tribute to the original Roman settlement – from marble bathrooms with underfloor heating to a Roman coin collection unearthed during excavation. The hotel’s best feature is a be-columned spa that offers soaks in the same thermal waters that once attracted the Romans to this part of Britain. Neo-Georgian guestrooms are understated yet sumptuous, there is excellent fine and casual dining on-site, and the service is top-notch.

Hotel phone: +44 1225 823 333
This stately luxury hotel encompasses two townhouses within the golden stone Georgian crescent that overlooks Bath’s main green space (as well as the coach house out back). The Royal Crescent is a seamless blend of 21st-century amenities and old-world 18th-century elegance. The opulent interior is all curving staircases, chandeliers, and stuccoed ceilings; each of the 45 guest rooms and suites is individually styled, and their superb spa is located a Georgian building just past the large, beautifully kept garden. Besides a first-rate fine dining restaurant and cocktail bar, perks include an indulgent afternoon tea service and excellent, personalized service.
