Absolutely amazing tasting menu for dinner is this historic hotel. Our suite was right next to the restaurant which made it quite convenient. The grounds are immaculate as you are escorted to your room. We spent a pretty penny but well worth it while visiting the Roman Baths which were less than a Mile away. Breakfast was included during our stay. Instead of going to restaurant for a full breakfast we opted for the breakfast in bed which consisted of a continental breakfast with meats n cheeses as well as coffee, tea and juices. Very satisfying. read more

Situated in the Royal Crescent with stunning views, this Georgian hotel is the nicest I've stayed at in Bath. We stayed for 6 nights and I can't wait to come back next year. Everyone from the concierge, waiters, managers, and housekeeping made us feel welcomed. The one manager took the time to speak to my family every time he saw us and even went out of his way to explain the sculptures in the garden. The gardens themselves are stunning - a little oasis away from the crowds. We had the same waiter for our first tea and several breakfasts and he was so kind. I recommend afternoon tea, the breakfasts, and drinks at the lounge. read more

I've had a lot of afternoon teas but this one by far, is the best I've had. Plus I'm in England having it! Also got lucky with it still being coronation month when I was there, they still had the coronation high tea. Perfect! The Royal crescent hotel is a stellar location to have the tea at. Definitely in a league if it's own, in Bath. The hotel itself was fascinating and very classic and beautiful. The restaurant where you have the tea is in the grounds and the scenery is just stunning. Lush greenery everywhere and beautiful flowers, and just the most beautiful setting for a very classy British tea. We all opted for the Coronation high tea, and I added a glass of champagne, because why not! We all picked our teas from an extensive list. I had the masala chai which was a nice take on the Indian chai with spices . Others had granny's garden, morning dew and the yunnan black tea. Lots of different colors! The champagne was also lovely! The tiered plates came with lots of delicious bites, the finger sandwiches were awesome, they had smoked salmon, the classic cucumber, egg salad, roast beef, and we opted for some vegetarian ones too, the roasted red pepper , basil and lemon hummus was my favorite. The plum tomato chutney also really good, and there was a guacamole, dill and lime one. You get unlimited amounts of finger sandwiches! The bread was so nice and grainy and soft. The array of sweet treats was mind boggling. Cakes, pastries, scones with real clotted cream and jam! Bath buns, specialty of the area Kinda really loved the scones and bath buns. The cute chocolate crown on the brownie was adorable and delicious. Everything here was just fabulous. Such a fun afternoon experience with my high school friends. The service was awesome, felt very high society ! One of the fanciest teas I've had. read more

Occupying Houses 15 & 16 of the Crescent - Number 16 The Royal Crescent became a guest house in 1950 and in 1973 it was combined with House 15 to create The Royal Crescent Hotel. The hotel has had 3 previous owners before being acquired by Topland Group. The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa went through an extensive refurbishment throughout all 45 rooms and suites, function and public rooms, the kitchen and one acre of private gardens, this was completed in April 2014. Jane Clayton was the Interior Designer and Alison Jenkins the Landscape Designer. Alison went on to design the Tattinger Spa Garden in July 2015. In April 2016 The Garden Villa's own walled garden was redeveloped, enabling residential guests, wedding parties and corporate clients to make full use of the area. The Spa & Bath House had a complete makeover in May 2016, bringing it in line with the rest of the hotel and its facilities. The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa's suites are named after famous guests who have stayed there.

BEWARE!!! If you are greeted by an employee named MATT at the restaurant (tall gentleman with thick rimmed glasses) and he tells you that HE DOESN'T SEE THAT YOU MADE A RESERVATION, call the main number and inquire. When I checked in with him and inquired about a possible earlier time for our dinner reservation (made the day before), he took one look at me and told me that he didn't see our name for a reservation. That's so strange. What about a different time? Sorry, he said... The restaurant, was booked. He didn't look up from the screen and didn't offer to help in any way. We were leaving the next day so it was our only time to eat there and we did make a reservation. "So sorry," he said, without looking up. I'm not sure if it was how I was dressed or my American accent. We went up to our room and started looking at other dinner options... and then I remembered how he looked at me.... And I asked my dad to call the main number about our reservation. He did. Sure enough WE DID have a reservation. And of course, they could move it to an earlier time. We were seated half an hour earlier and the restaurant remained half empty throughout our meal. That was the only unfortunate experience we had here. Just wanted to warn you all since it had been quite a while since I have been treated like that. Every other aspect of our stay was wonderful. The rooms are fabulous and the garden is stunning. All the other staff are polite and welcoming. The food is fabulous and the surrounding area is lovely. They put sparkling water by the bed each day and replenish it for turndown service. I would come back here in an instant. Wonderful experience overall.... Except for Matt treating us very poorly. read more

If the architecture alone for The Royal Crescent doesn't draw you in when on a visit to Bath, then let the high tea in the garden convince you. I did not personally stay at the hotel, but I did go to the garden for tea one afternoon, and after having several other disappointing experiences with tea in the UK, I was so happy to have paid a visit to The Royal Crescent. The staff was lovely, and the environment was elevated and chic. The weather was absolutely perfect (end of May), and could have stayed in the garden all day. Highly recommended. read more

The food here is out of this world. The only problem I have is the drink size. Wine is a very small pour as well as the martinis. I called them baby martinis read more

We stayed here for a weekend in the classic Elizabeth Linley suite. The staff were very polite and helpful especially when we were checking in. However when we got in our suite we were not very pleased as it looked like it was really ready for a refurb. The t.v was way too small, the bed coverings and the bed head very stained and the room had a very distinct odour which I suspected was coming from the restaurant down stairs. The breakfast was good enough. We used the bath house which was not too bad, my fiancé enjoyed the pool and I did not mind the steam room. All in all a nice stay but perhaps a bit expensive. read more

This hotel is amazing! It's definitely a 5 star hotel. The staff is delightful and the hotel is kept in pristine condition. I also went to the spa which was a great experience. read more

During a recent stay we discovered that we had lost a passport. The hotel staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating in helping us solve the problem. Especially the hotel manager Isabel, she was fantastic. On top of all that, the hotel is lovely. read more

It is not every day (or even year) that I cross the Atlantic to partake of some English culture so when my aunt and I decided to venture to Bath for a short visit we knew we wanted to make the most of it. The Royal Crescent was a memorable experience, even though we did have difficulty finding the hotel itself seeing as how the roads were one way and signage sparse once we got into Bath from Southampton. By the time we had located the hotel- thanks to a very helpful cabbie - we were more than ready to check out the luxurious surroundings that would be ours for the two days of our stay and regroup before making our reconnaissance of Bath. I will point out that the hotel is undergoing a refurbishment program, making the spa off limits, except by appointment. This was not a deal breaker, as the purpose of our visit was to soak up some culture and take in the sights. The room that we stayed in appeared by all counts to have been refreshed, seeing as how it boasted a large, flat-screen wall mounted television. The décor featured soothing, if muted, grays and purples, along with flower arrangements throughout. We enjoyed seeing the adjoining gardens. As we were located just a few doors away from No. 1 Royal Crescent, an historic Georgian town house that was the first house to be built in the Crescent, we took the opportunity to have a look around. The hotel staff were very helpful and unfailingly polite throughout our visit. We would have liked to have sampled the afternoon tea, but we did find the breakfasts were quite good. On the one night that the rain curtailed any evening outings, we decided to stay in and were pleasantly surprised by the hotel bar, especially the excellent martini which I understand is not always easy to come by in England. This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience and I am glad that I had the opportunity to view aspects of Bath, both historic and modern, through the lens of this top quality hotel. read more

As someone who is a little over zealous about history, staying at the Royal Crescent has been on my bucket list for a very long time. It did not disappoint. The service is exceptional and the rooms are what you would anticipate when paying what you must to experience a setting of this caliber. To walk through the doors on the famous façade and have a room with all the modern luxuries you would expect with the Georgian charm you hope for is almost surreal. The gardens through the back create a wonderful sanctuary against the often present crush of tourists in the front. Having been one of those tourists who is fortunate enough to be able to cross the threshold into the Royal Crescent, as opposed to being a spectator on the outside, I felt especially privileged. I strongly urge anyone with a passion for history, a love of Bath, and the means to stay a visit to this prestigious and spectacular hotel. read more

I have taken so long to write this because I don't like to give bad reviews but feel it is necessary to warn others. We stayed here in March. The hotel is really stunning and the service is great. The bartender Liam was exceptional. I had a massage and facial and really enjoyed both. I felt so comfortable at this hotel so much that I didn't lock up my cash in my purse. Unfortunately someone went through my purse and took $550 from my wallet. They also went through my husbands backpack but fortunately he didn't have anything of value. We reported this to the manager. He interviewed the house cleaner who usually has someone with her but that day she was in our room by herself. The manager could not do anything to resolve this issue. He has offered us one free night next time we are in Bath. We live in California so I don't see us returning anytime soon. Lesson learned even if you feel safe and comfortable lock up you valuables! read more

One of the finest hotels at which I've ever stayed. I splurged (got a great deal on one of the travel websites) and have no regrets about doing so. This beautiful, historic property will blow you away ... luxurious rooms, free afternoon tea with cookies, beautiful gardens, a first rate spa with relaxation pool, sauna, steam room and whirlpool. Most of all, the staff, to a person, was professional, helpful and attentive. I loved it and can't wait to go back again. Highest recommedation. read more

The High Tea here was not great. It was very costly and the money didn't meet the standards. Normally when you go to high tea, you expect them to give you basically as much food as you can ask for. My family of five all ordered 5 Afternoon teas and when we asked for an extra six scones they said they couldn't give that to us. They said they would allow top-offs and they're basically denying us the right for all to get one extra scone when we're paying so much. The tea also was not of great quality and there was nothing special about the finger sandwiches and the desert was sub-par. Other than that, the staff was friendly, but I would not recommend having tea here. read more

Excellent hotel, well located in Bath. Service is outstanding as the staff leaped to meet any request. Grounds (the garden) are charming and the whole property has an excellent feel. Rooms are spacious and well appointed and the restaurant was very good, even if a step behind the Olive Tree. Gym and spa are also excellent. The place to stay in lovely Bath. read more

We understand that this is a High End Hotel. Please state if it is your policy that the restaurant and bar are for guest only. My husband and I were willing to pay whatever it took for a glass of wine in the corner ,on a bench in your garden at 1:00 pm. We did not take up a table , which there were many. Our server seated us knowing we were only having a drink. He gave us drink menus and asked if we were staying at the hotel. We should have answered yes! He never came back. We waited 20 minutes and left. Then went to The Circus. Amazing meal and had our glass of wine. read more
