The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa occupies two townhouses at the centre of Bath’s most recognisable Georgian terrace, giving the property an architectural setting that needs little embellishment. Its 45 rooms and suites vary in plan and outlook, retaining period proportions while introducing contemporary comfort; some face the crescent, others the private gardens behind. Montagu’s Mews provides the principal restaurant and bar and opens towards the garden. The spa sits in a separate historic building with an indoor pool, sauna and steam room. Royal Victoria Park begins directly opposite, and Bath’s central streets descend from the crescent only a short walk away.
