About

Set in the heart of Bath, The Gainsborough Bath Spa is perfectly placed to explore the city and its surrounds, located just 20 yards from Stall St, the main shopping street in the city and 100 yards from The Roman Baths. Beyond its walls, a wealth of history, stunning architecture and beautiful countryside await. Bath is a city of festivals and the arts with a year round programme. Created by award-winning Champalimaud Design, the rooms and suites are custom furnished, subtly referencing period details combined with contemporary forms while including all the functional elements that discerning travellers have come to expect. The accommodation is inclusive of standard five star amenities from luxurious bedding and generous wardrobes to cordless phones and full black out window coverings.

The hotel is home to Spa Village, the only UK Spa with access to naturally heated thermal waters.

Please note access to Spa Village is complimentary for Hotel residents between 7am-9am and 8pm-10pm. Outside of these times a treatment is required to access the Spa. Please also note that access to Spa Village is strictly limited to over 16s only.

Valet Parking is offered and costs £35.00 per night. This service must be booked prior to arrival and is allocated on a first-come-first served basis.

Straight-line figures from the hotel's coordinates. Cornish lanes and the coast path are slower than the map suggests, and rail and bus services can be sparse outside summer; see the walks.
