Abbey Hotel
Although the Abbey Hotel’s roots as a hotel date back to 1890, it is thoroughly modern and provides its guests with contemporary comforts and luxury along with outstanding service.
No.15 Great Pulteney
Set in central Bath on one of the city's most fashionable streets, No. 15 Great Pulteney offers lavish lodgings with great personality. A quirky, individual style runs throughout the hotel from the dollhouse reception desk to the playful contemporary art, cabinets of curiosities and carefully-curated design.
All this artistry however, is set against the elegance of the historic building with its high ceilings, large windows and decorative moldings and the eclectic rooms seamlessly blend period grandeur with modern design.
The intimate bar serves Bath's best cocktails in an elegant Georgian setting with a whimsical modern twist, while Café 15, the hotel restaurant, offers seasonal, local dishes in a room where hundreds of old apothecary bottles line the walls.

A wide-ranging buffet breakfast as well as à la carte dishes are served in the basement breakfast nook which continues the hotel's artistic design with an elaborate display of spoons.
