Best luxury hotels in Bath for 2024

A honey-coloured country pile six miles south of Bath, Homewood Hotel & Spa has a heated, cabana-lined pool that’s optimistically open year-round. It may be in a heritage building, but the hotel has lots of playful touches, including a wall of clocks in reception and a yellow submarine on the grass beside the tree-lined drive, all of which are on loan from the owners' collection of curios.

On a fine summer's day, the terrace of the hotel's Olio restaurant is an idyllic spot to enjoy a chilled glass of rosé and your pick of the Mediterranean menu, whether you fancy a simple salad or a sizable sharing platter. There are also 'dining domes' set up in the grounds for a slightly more unusual experience.

Staying true to Bath’s great Roman tradition, Homewood has a spa with a valley-facing hot tub and CBD treatments. Fans of the irreverent design will be pleased to hear that the owners also run the Bird, a boutique, avian-themed hotel in the city centre.
