The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in Bath is a pretty perfect escape, in one of the UK’s most beautiful cities. It’s like stepping into a Jane Austen novel, if Jane Austen had world-class spa facilities and contemporary design, including a Himalayan salt infused sauna using the natural healing properties of salt therapy to improve skin conditions and strengthen the immune system, a blossom steam inhalation room for relaxation and detox, a vitality pool with massage jets positioned to aid relaxation and release tension in the back and calves, a hammam, and hot and tepid tubs. There is also a 12-metre candlelit pool and a gym adjacent to the spa.
There are eight treatment rooms and the spa works with Ground Wellbeing, known for using natural, plant-based ingredients in their skincare products. These are used in a collection of restorative, holistic therapies, from massages and facials to manicures and pedicures, all in a tranquil environment that combines original architecture with natural woods, bamboo, pebbles and slate interiors.
A Grade I listed, Georgian townhouse in the picturesque town of Bath, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa is part of the architectural masterpiece created by John Wood that is the stuff postcards are made of. With 45 rooms featuring restored antiques, the design transports you to a bygone age of glamour but with all the modern convenience of luxury travel. The hotel had a complete refurbishment in 2015, under the expert guidance of interior designer Jane Clayton & Company.
Introduced in 2023, Montagu’s Mews is the hotel's bar and dining experience, serving fresh, local ingredients, elegant style and flawless service. Inspired by the original resident of No. 16, Elizabeth Montagu, who was host of the Blue Stockings Society, writer, salonière and advocate for women’s education. The restaurant has an 18th century salon vibe with superb fare served up by Head Chef Martin Blake and his dedicated kitchen team.
Following a redesign of the hotel’s 11 suites and the launch of new restaurant, Montagu’s Mews, in 2023, the new spaces, (Drawing room, Library and Lobby have been designed by Bath-based interior designers, Woodhouse & Law, to bring new energy to the property while remaining true to the history of its elegant architecture.
As part of an ongoing refurbishment, a collection of new-look bedrooms has been unveiled, each individually designed in luxurious yet playful style. Across the collection of rooms, from cosy attic spaces to grand suites, contemporary designer pieces work in tandem with antiques to create a warm and welcoming aesthetic. Garden view rooms feature green and blue palettes that echo the views beyond, while a bold use of colour adds depth and interest to smaller spaces. Alongside bespoke cabinetry crafted by a local maker, existing furniture has been repurposed and enhanced to minimise waste.
Please be aware that on-site parking is no longer available.
