The coronavirus pandemic has halted plans for many couples, friends and families looking to spend their holidays in the UK this year. If your romantic sojourn, spa getaway, historic break, walking weekend, and so forth, is on hold for now, you’ll deserve a great British treat more than ever – and Bath has some incredibly smart hotels. So here’s our guide to the best luxury hotels in and around Bath that are wonderful all year round.
In the 1700s, Bath was transformed into an elegant resort out of the local golden-hued Bath stone. Leading architects designed and built sweeping crescents and harmonious terraces, most of which are still visible today. The city as a whole has a graceful refinement to it, and much the same can be said of its finest hotels, many of which occupy Georgian premises. As well as decadent hotels in the city, we have also highlighted below our favourite high-end places to stay a short drive away. Here’s our pick of the best luxury hotels in and around Bath.
