More Information

The Royal Crescent Hotel is situated in the centre of The Royal Crescent, one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture. A graceful Grade I listed hotel set in the centre of a 162 metre elliptical curve, it comprises six elegant and historical buildings set within one acre of grounds. The antiques, sumptuous furnishings and period detail are provided without compromising on the modern comforts required of today's visitor to Bath. There are 45 individually designed bedrooms, award-winning dining, meeting facilities and an outstanding spa environment - The Bath House (which includes a relaxation pool). The hotel is licensed for wedding ceremonies and there is also the opportunity to cruise along the Kennet and Avon waterway aboard Lady Sophina, the property's own Edwardian river launch.

The Dower House is the hotel's fabulous, award-winning restaurant, one of the finest restaurants in Bath and the epitome of chic. Its accompanying bar is so ‘uber’ cool, it adds a whole new dimension to ‘Let’s have a drink.’ Over the last few years, our Head Chef and his brigade have worked closely to develop the synthesis of innovative cuisine within this rich architectural setting. The restaurant has an entry in the Good Food Guide 2007 for the 26th year, under its previous name, Pimpernel’s
