Bath’s Royal Crescent, for those not in the know, is something not unlike the 1774 equivalent of Trump Tower—a collection of some thirty houses joined together and spread out in a five-hundred-foot arc. This is one of the textbook specimens of Georgian architecture, one of this Roman spa town’s most famous landmarks, and its supernaturally perfect arc and immaculate lawns make for an imposing sight.

The Royal Crescent Hotel takes up houses 15 and 16 of the Crescent, and a (quite sensible) local ban on signage means it’s unmarked, though the presence of a doorman is enough of a giveaway. House number one of the Crescent may be given over to a museum decorated in authentic eighteenth-century style, but the hotel’s interiors are scarcely more modern. The style is all-out retro, not just a smattering of antiques, but total immersion. And while some hotels in the southwest of England strive to recall the days of, for example, Jane Austen, the Royal Crescent Hotel does them one better, naming a suite after her, and others after other famous visitors like Ralph Allen and William Beckford.

However old-fashioned the decor, the rooms are as comfortable as can be, with rich four-poster beds and marble baths; though the in-room baths of course pale in comparison to The Bath House, the hotel’s spa. Of course there’s no law that says when in Bath, you must do as the Romans did—other leisure options include the Library, the Pavilion Conservatory, the gardens or Pimpernel’s restaurant. And in case that’s not enough, there’s plenty to do farther afield, with Bath suffering no shortage of restaurants, pubs, and sights to see.

    The hotel is located in the middle of the Royal Crescent, an excellent location in a historic building and only a short walk into town. The staff are warm and helpful. The room is huge and decorated in a traditional English style. There are nice touches, such as having your name on the door. The restaurant is excellent and the food is amongst the best we've had in the UK.

    The rooms, the staff and the lift to another restaurant in the lashing rain, superb customer service. We didn't even complain about the hairdryer not working in the bathroom...there was another one in the bedroom.

    What the hotel could do better

    Not a lot, the food in the restaurant is a bit pretentious, lots of foams and intricate menus but delicious non the less.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.

The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
