The Bath Priory Hotel

In a tranquil residential area in western Bath, a 20-minute stroll from the city centre.

With soft colour palettes, quality fabrics and tasteful touches of pattern, the 33 delightful rooms, each named after a flower, are decorated individually with elegant period furniture, and have views over the landscaped gardens.

Under the watchful gaze of the executive chef, the Bath Priory restaurant, which has been awarded three AA rosettes, offers outstanding modern European cuisine, using ingredients grown in the hotel’s herb and vegetable garden. Choose a fine wine from the exemplary wine cellar with the assistance of the head sommelier.

For lighter bites at lunch times, be sure to visit The Pantry for a more relaxed setting, and afternoon tea here is a real treat.

Unwind with a treatment at the hotel’s Garden Spa, which has a menu of simply blissful treatments. Guests of the hotel can also use the gym, swimming pools, sauna and steam rooms.

Walk through the nearby Royal Victoria Park and end up in the middle of the natural thermal springs and romantic buildings of Bath. In the afternoon, catch some sun playing a game of croquet.
