Hotel Indigo Bath

Hotel Indigo Bath is set on elegant Georgian terrace, recently restored before reopening in 2020 and part of the IHG group. An ingenious combination of 12 inter-connecting 18th-century townhouses with an interior decor that’s a mix of modern and traditional. Quirky chandeliers shine over Regency-style portraits and animal heads either upon human bodies or dressed in military costumes.

Up and down the 10 staircases is a maze of 154 rooms leading off from butterfly-strewn carpets. In order of ascending grandeur are Standard, Superior, Superior Premier, Suites and ‘Accessible’. Each floor has themed names highlighting the Georgian era. On the top floor are the ‘Literary Hideaway’ Standard rooms, adorned with a collage of books on the wall while the ‘Architectural Beauty’ rooms have Roman cornicing. All come with comfy Hypnos beds and luxurious Egyptian cotton linen. The bathrooms have historic patterned tiles, rainforest showers (some have an additional walk-in shower and roll-top tub) and the products are by Bramley.

The theme of Hotel Indigo Bath is ‘old meets new’ and certainly the modern part of the hotel is successfully offset by the restaurants. There’s Brasserie Beau with its niches and alcoves and the Elder restaurant for fine dining with taster menus going the full 7 courses. Fairly-priced for both rooms and dinner, it’s ideal for discerning adults free of children or pets.

From walking tours, visits to some incredible historic landmarks such as the Bath Abbey, Roman Baths, Royal Crescent and iconic Pulteney Bridge or perhaps a more relaxing trip to the Therma Spa.

Which are your most popular room types, and why? Our beautiful standard rooms host luxury spa-inspired bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers but our most popular rooms are our large premium architectural rooms and our unique Georgian underground vaults with classic roll top baths.
