The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa

Having stayed elsewhere in Bath for a few days last year, my wife and I had more places to enjoy and combined staying at this wonderfully located hotel with visiting those places. We had a two night package that included an afternoon tea with glass of bubbly, plus an evening six course taster meal. Not on the same day, I hasten to add, as the tea was enough to take us through to breakfast the first morning. Upon arrival, our luggage was removed and the car taken to parking by the friendly concierge. A friendly and informative receptionist greeted us and showed us where everything was, and gave us a potted history of the hotel and Crescent. Amazingly our room was ready, at 14:00 hours and we settled in before heading, at 15:00,to our tea. It was a lovely spring day with blue sky and sunshine galore. The gardens, are lovely and could be imagined as great to dine in al fresco in the summer. The tea was excellent. The breakfast menu and buffet had all that s=could be desired and variations requested were accepted. Our evening taster meal was good, with some extremely tasty courses. Maybe not all, but that is a matter of personal taste. Service and information given on each course was vert good and we enjoyed discussing the various merits of the courses with the waiting staff. We had a room overlooking the Crescent gardens and it was well equipped with comfy beds. A nice touch on arrival was a box of handmade chocs and later a plate of fruit. All in all a stay worthy of another wedding anniversary, of which we have had many! Thanks to all of the staff who made it so enjoyable.

Great location, and the level of service and decor to be expected at a 5 star hotel. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent hotel Comfortable large bedroom with spacious modern bathroom and walk in shower that we had requested. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful Nice swimming pool ( although due to its size it can get busy) Spa was excellent. All of the staff were friendly and professional.

One of the most extraordinary hotels we've stayed at. I want to go back just to take in all that the hotel has to offer. Bath is delightful but the Royal Crescent is a trip in itself

With the location being the very best one could hope for in the Royal Crescent itself I was greeted by Gerard, and shared a confession that whilst I was sent away to boarding school at the tender age of 8 and brought up by Irish Catholic nuns in Pakistan in the mountains of the Himalayas, and retained contact with one of the nuns from then to this day, I had yet to visit his hometown, Ireland. Katie next greeted me informing me that my room was already ready( as I had surgery 6 months ago and needed to rest when I could) and also informed me that I had been upgraded to a slightly more spacious room. Clara at the 24 hour Reception desk was charming and lost helpful, Adam very obliging and Dipeeka (whom I had the most interaction with at the Bar) whom I could speak with in Urdu and myself talked of how each of our grandfathers had given us so much love. Like her I could not say goodbye to mine but at least hers was prevented out of parental love rather than spite as was mine. The food was delicious the chicken schnitzel not being an evening dish the chefs supervised by Rob, graciously agreed to the request. The duck starter was delicious but the portion miniscule (hint, hint!) An experience to be remembered. The Jane Austen Centre is a good visit and Austen did have good times in Bath despite financial struggles upon her father s death when in Bristol. Thanks for a fantastic stay. With gratitude, Sam
