Hotel review

Gainsborough Bath Spa is situated in two Grade II Listed buildings with Georgian and Victorian façades in the heart of Bath (a Registered UNESCO World Heritage Site), and was masterfully decorated by New York based Champalimaud Design. The interiors are luxurious modern elegance at its best. Spacious bedrooms are individually decorated with five star amenities. The spa is world class, and seeks to complement the treasured waters of Bath with modern body therapies and classic personalised treatments. With a small private chapel and function space, this hotel is flexible to suit all your requirements.

The Gainsborough Bath Spa hotel, Bath: review

The first five-star hotel in Bath in 30 years, the Gainsborough is also the only one in Britain to have access to natural thermal waters.

Originally published by The Telegraph

What's New in The Cotswolds?

It's got a thoroughbred team behind it, as far as hotels go: it's run by the group behind the Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur and Pangkor Laut Resort, both leading spa hotels in Malaysia; and interiors are by the designers who did The Dorchester and New York's Carlyle hotel.

The Gainsborough Bath Spa: A Regency address that

There are nine categories of room, from the entry-level Deluxe and Classic up to the top-end Gainsborough Suite. If you can't get enough of that thermal water, check in to a Spa Suite, where it's available on tap in the roll-top bath.
