Hotel Description
General Description
Location. The historic Macdonald Bath Spa hotel is half a mile from the city centre of Bath, England. Famous attractions in the centre include the Roman Baths, the Pump Rooms and the Abbey.
Hotel Features. Built of golden Bath stone in the Georgian era, the Macdonald Bath Spa hotel was formerly a private mansion, and sits in seven acres of landscaped gardens with swaying cedars, fountains and ponds. There is complimentary onsite parking for guests.
The Macdonald Bath Spa hotel's Vellore Restaurant occupies the former ballroom. The formal restaurant serves English and French-style cuisine beneath high-ceilings, with a pianist playing on Friday and Saturday evenings. The less formal Alfresco Restaurant, in the conservatory is flooded with natural light. Pre-dinner cocktails and after-dinner brandies and cigars are served in the Colonnade Bar. Afternoon tea or light lunches can be taken in the Drawing Room, decorated with period-style furniture.
The hotel's large spa has a 15-metre indoor pool, outdoor pool with sundeck, and jetted tub. The gym offers personal trainers (surcharge may apply). There are six treatment rooms for manicures, pedicures, facials and body treatments. The hotel also offers a sauna, infra-red room, aroma steam room, salt-infusion room and ice room.
Guestrooms. The 104 guestrooms are traditionally decorated and feature mahogany furnishings. Rooms offer CD players, minibars, dial-up Internet connections, satellite television, safes and tea/coffee making facilities.
Expert Tip. One of Bath's lesser-known museums, a mile from the hotel, is the Costume Museum, which showcases fashions through the centuries.
Overview
Nestling among cedars, fountains and ponds the hotel offers all the amenities that guests would expect of a 5 star hotel The 'Spa' at The Bath Spa offers the latest in health and beauty facilities.
The elegant Georgian façade of The Bath Spa Hotel can only hint at the warmth, style, comfort and attentive service you will receive during your stay. The bedrooms are elegantly decorated, the bathrooms are luxuriously appointed in mahogany and marble. Guests are entitled to complimentary use of The Spa, our Health and Fitness Club. Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, outdoor hydrotherapy pool, thermal suite, gymnasium, beauty treatment rooms and a relaxation room. Close to the Roman Baths, Pump Room and the new Thermae Bath Spa, it is far enough from the bustle of the city to be a perfect retreat. We recommend that any Health & Beauty treatments are booked prior to arrival to avoid disappointment. Children under the age of 16 may only use the swimming pool in The Spa - other facilities are not available for their use.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to our hotel.
Exterior
From the outside the hotel is a traditional modern building. It also has a large extension which has been built to blend in with the original building. There is a long, impressive sweeping drive leading up to the hotel with grass and trees surrounding it.
Lobby
On entering the hotel the decor is breathtaking. It has been restored to its original splendour as a traditional country house. The elegant lobby is adorned with priceless antiques and oil paintings, as is the rest of the hotel.
