About

The Francis Hotel Bath offers an oasis of elegance with an eclectic edge that reflects the vibrancy and exuberance of the Regency period from which the interiors take their inspiration. The hotel was first opened by Emily Francis, a leading entrepreneurial lady of her time.

2025 is an exciting year for the hotel as the multi-million-pound refurbishment continues to transform the hotel. This includes a full revamp to all 98 bedrooms and suites, a reconfiguration of the hotel’s lobby, the unveiling of a brand-new restaurant, as well as the addition of a dedicated spa and snug.

The luxury 98-room boutique property offers individually designed, air-conditioned bedrooms; some with views over the city. The property occupies seven of Bath’s original eighteenth-century townhouses, situated on one of the city’s most important architectural spaces, Queen Square.

The hotel's on-site restaurant, Emberwood, is a British brasserie inspired by the warmth of the open hearth, bringing together seasonal ingredients, local provenance, and a passion for honest cooking.

Situated in the heart of Bath with beautiful landscape and countryside nearby, the hotel is a perfect spot for those seeking to blend exploration a historical city with rural walks. Half a mile from Bath Spa railway station, which is approximately ten-minute walk or a five-minute taxi ride. 

While The Francis Hotel continues to reimagine its beautiful buildings, its accessible facilities will be temporarily unavailable from 23 June 2025. The team apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as they work towards improvements. They will be back and better by October 2025.
