Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
Hotel Indigo Bath
- Best for
- Car-free city breaks, design-minded couples, IHG members and dog owners who secure a pet-friendly room.
- Trade-off
- Public car parks replace on-site hotel parking
The strong central design-hotel option for rail arrivals who want a historic Georgian shell, modern themed rooms and the Abbey Quarter close at hand.
Booking tipCompare Standard, Premium and Vaulted rooms carefully, especially bathroom type, daylight and stairs, then plan for public rather than hotel parking.
The Gainsborough Bath Spa
- Best for
- Spa-led couples, first visits and short car-free stays close to the Roman Baths and station.
- Trade-off
- Complimentary resident Bath House access is limited to designated hours unless a treatment is booked
Bath’s clearest hotel choice when access to the city’s natural thermal water matters more than a secluded resort setting.
Booking tipCheck resident Bath House hours and choose a Bath Spa room only if in-room thermal-water bathing justifies the category.
Apex City of Bath Hotel
- Best for
- Families, groups, business travellers and visitors prioritising a pool or a more predictable modern layout.
- Trade-off
- Pool use requires a booked time slot and family demand can be high in school holidays
Bath’s practical full-service pick for families and groups who value a central indoor pool, larger contemporary rooms and documented accessible options.
Booking tipReserve pool sessions after arrival, choose a family or accessible room explicitly, and budget for public parking rather than an on-site space.
