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.
