HOTELS IN Bath

Eating and drinking in Bath

The city is renowned for its hospitality and there’s plenty of choice when it comes to eating out or going for a drink. Look forward to wonderful, award-winning restaurants, as well as plenty of traditional pubs, trendy bars and quaint cafes.

• Afternoon tea – This genteel English tradition is very big in Bath and there are many tea rooms catering to it. There’s no better place to enjoy a cup of Old Grey and a fairy cake with the chattering classes (Jane Austen herself was a Bath resident).
• The Dower House Restaurant - Located in the landmark Royal Crescent, expect a fine-dining experience with attractive, contemporary British cuisine.
• The Pump Room Restaurant – The city’s most magnificent and elegant dining establishment was at the heart of Georgian high society. Today, it remains a rendezvous point for those with a taste or the finer things.

Shopping in Bath

A shopping expedition in Bath provides a memorable experience with its fabulous selection of stylish boutiques, smaller indie stores as well as plenty of familiar big-name shops.

• Milsom Place and Milsom Street – It’s no surprise that such an upmarket city has a fondness for designer brands – so if Armani, Reiss and LK Bennet are your bag, this is where to head.
• Walcot Street and London Street – Wander down here if you’re itching to visit flea markets or for something a little more offbeat.
• Pulteney Bridge – A fantastic Grade I listed building spanning the River Avon with swish boutiques and coffee shops lining the route.

Things to do in Bath

• The Pump Room and Roman Baths- Originally constructed in 70 AD as a grand bathing and socialising venue, the magnificent Aquae Sulis is where the city derives its name. Rich in natural minerals, you can take a sip of the water in the Pump Room – believed to have healing properties.
• Thermae Bath Spa – Bathe in the spa waters - just as the Romans and Celts did - in a warm open-air rooftop pool with an awe-inspiring view.
• Royal Crescent – Stroll along the iconic Georgian crescent and take in the museum at No.1.
• Bath Abbey – Looming above the city, this majestic medieval church was completed in 1616. Climb the 212 steps to the top for a truly spectacular view.
