In the historic city of Bath, Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel sits pride of place in a tranquil corner just a short stroll from the town centre.

Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel

Excellently located and beautifully appointed, it appeals to couples heading off on a romantic break, or friends looking for quality time together. Here are just five of the reasons we love it.

A luxury spa retreat

A five-star hotel in an elegant Regency mansion, Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel is a beautiful place to spend time, whether you're visiting for a day, or staying in one of their 129 rooms.

Beautiful spa gardens

It's not just the interiors that are impressive - the landscaped gardens are as well. Wake to views of their seven-acre grounds that offer peace and tranquillity despite the hotel's proximity to Bath's sites and attractions.

Perfectly located

Just a short walk from Bath’s historic centre, staying here is a chance to explore as well as unwind. Why not stroll across Pulteney Bridge and admire the sweeping Georgian architecture of the Royal Crescent? or pay homage to the city’s Roman legacy at the famous baths?

An homage to hydrotherapy

The hotel's own spa nods to Bath's reputation as a spa town. In contemporary facilities, unwind in the gym, pool, outdoor hydrotherapy pool, whirlpool, massage shower, sauna, aromatherapy steam room, infrared heat cabin and ice room, topped off with a treatment or two courtesy of Elemis.

A Rosette-awarded restaurant

A mansion of this magnitude wouldn't be complete without a ballroom, which now functions as the restaurant. Amongst columns and a canopied terrace, they offer a fine dining experience that's got an excellent reputation. Afterwards, head to the Colonnade Bar where the mixologist will serve you cocktails in sophisticated style.
