The Francis Hotel Bath sits gracefully on Queen Square, a row of Georgian townhouses in the heart of beautiful Bath. Independent in spirit, the hotel carries an endless love for the timeless charms of its city. The hotel was first opened by Emily Francis, a leading entrepreneurial lady of her time.
