A beautiful hotel. Felt luxurious and special. The spa is stunning and so much better than the Thermae Spa. I was actually quite gutted that I spent additional money to go there.
Stunning interiors and beautiful rooms. I will come back and I will recommend.

Stayed in a spa room and it was lovely. Best bed ever, very comfortable. Complementary drinks included in the fridge was a nice touch. Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant food generally was excellent although a little bit pricey.

We are very fortunate to have found this hotel in Bath England. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left the hotel staff, services, cleanliness and spa kept us smiling. I highly recommend this hotel for couples looking to find the perfect hotel in Bath. We stayed in the executive room and had plenty of space for our suitcases + lots of closet and storage space. The only negative I found with the room it has a bathtub that you must step into that is a couple feet off the ground. I would not recommend this room if you are not comfortable stepping in and out of a high tub in a tight space. Hotel customers get access included with their stay to the mineral bath spa every morning for a couple hours in every evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. I highly recommend anybody staying at this hotel take advantage of the beautiful spa each day. We did not order any food but visited the bar one night and got exceptional service from the bartender. The hotel is centrally located and only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the train station. We would definitely stay here again should we choose to return to Bath.
