There are many reasons to visit the historical city of Bath, but one that sits atop many a bucket list is to visit the thermal baths. There’s evidence to suggest humans were visiting these mineral-rich waters, long-revered for healing properties, some 8,000 years ago – and we’ve never stopped. Since then, this magnificent city with its Celtic legends, elegant honey-toned Georgian architecture, ancient Roman temples, monasteries, abbeys and streets that look as though you’ve stepped into a Jane Austin (the writer lived here for a time as a young woman) novel, has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But despite the year-round flow of tourists, bustling nightlife and restaurant scene, and some of the UK’s best theatre, the echoes of time gone by can still be heard loud and clear.
If it is history that draws you to Bath, you’ll be pleased to check into one of the city’s slew of historic hotels and Airbnbs, so you can fully immerse yourself in the ancient story of the city. Below are some of the best and most historic places to stay in Bath for an unforgettable trip.
