At the Royal Crescent Hotel you can relax at the spa, and tour Bath and the surrounding English countryside.
Built around hot mineral springs, the City of Bath has been one of the top fashionable leisure destinations in Britain for centuries. The Royal Crescent hotel, completed in the 18th century, is a unique collection of houses set in an elliptical shape around beautiful gardens.
The Royal Crescent has 45 individually decorated rooms and suites, some with wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, 17th century four poster beds and private terraces. During the 1998 restoration, the guest rooms have been restored with authentic period carpets, furnishings and fabrics.
A collection of eighteenth century paintings and contemporary portraits of notable personalities who visited Bath can be found throughout the hotel. The hotel suites are named after famous people such as Jane Austen, Sir Percy Blakeney and Ralph Allen.
The Bath House, nestled within the gardens, features a 12-meter relaxation pool, steam and sauna Karahafus, and cool and tepid plunge tubs. The spa offers a large selection of treatments.
While at the hotel, be sure to visit the Pavilion Conservatory, the Library, and take a walk through the hotel's secluded gardens.
The Royal Crescent Pimpernel’s restaurant serves contemporary British foods with influences from the Mediterranean and the Far East. The restaurant can put together a picnic basket which you can take with your on a trip to the English countryside.
