Royal Hotel

In the beautiful historic centre of Bath, this attractive traditional Georgian-style hotel offers a friendly and informal atmosphere within walking distance of all of the city’s leading attractions.

Famous for its beautiful Georgian architecture, Bath is the only city in England to be classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The hotel was designed by the famous engineer and architect, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, in the 19th century. Brunel deliberately mirrored the city’s architecture in the hotel’s grand Georgian-style exterior.

The hotel has been providing traditional British hospitality for over 150 years and today it offers comfortable, cosy accommodation, making it the ideal base for a short city break.

The owners are committed to continually improving both the physical aspects of the hotel and the standards of service, food and hospitality to ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable visit.

Hotel information

Brunel, the famous English architect of the time, designed the hotel for the arrival of the railway in Victorian times. The Royal prefix was bestowed upon the hotel as a reminder of Queen Victoria's visit to the city of Bath. The hotel was originally named the Royal Station Hotel and commenced trading in 1846. In 1852, because of the growing influence of rail travel and the hotel’s close proximity to the station, an upper-level footbridge was built, directly linking the first floor of the hotel with the station platforms for the convenience of hotel guests. This footbridge remained until 1936.

The Royal has changed ownership a number of times during its 150-year history and in March 1995, The PR Inns partnership acquired the business. PR is a small private company, wholly owned by its two partners who are highly experienced hoteliers and restaurateurs.

Food & beverage

Our resident General Manager, Sara Todd, is fully involved in the day-to-day running of the hotel and this personal attention extends to the restaurant. It has an enviable reputation for excellent food, specialising in great steaks using only mature British beef, and including grilled chicken, fish, vegetarian dishes and spicy Mexican fajitas plus a daily choice of chef’s specials.

For guests who wish a little more to eat, at lunch and dinner there is an excellent value 3-course fixed price menu with a wide choice of dishes, selected from the à la carte menu for only GBP 17.50. Alternatively, you can choose individually priced dishes from the à la carte menu. Whether you select a fixed meal or eat à la carte, you will enjoy the same high quality in food and service in a friendly and very attractive restaurant, which is fully air conditioned and non-smoking.

Most dishes are freshly cooked to order to ensure that we maintain maximum quality.
