Condé Nast Traveller editors have released their selections for the best hotels in Bath, a city frequently chosen for short breaks due to its combination of healing waters and Regency history. The guide includes a variety of accommodation options, from luxury heritage properties to boutique hotels.
Among the editor's picks, The Francis Hotel is recommended for couples, and Lucknam Park, Emblems Collection, is suggested for families. For those seeking a spa experience, The Gainsborough is highlighted, while The Yard in Bath is noted for an affordable stay. The Gainsborough Bath Spa and Royal Crescent are also mentioned as five-star luxury heritage properties.
The selection process involves independent choices by editors and reviews by journalists who have visited the properties. Considerations include design, location, service, and sustainability credentials, with the list updated regularly.
