About

You will find The Francis Hotel located in the heart of Bath, an ideal location for exploring the city’s culture and heritage. A Regency-inspired townhouse hotel, combining 21st century elegance with all the splendour of its historic past. Offering 98-room boutique bedrooms, the hotel is located moments from the most popular sights of this great British spa city.

Full of unique history combined with Regency opulence, modern amenities and a boutique charm, the hotel offers four-star luxury in one of the best city locations. The hotel was first opened by Emily Francis, a leading entrepreneurial lady of her time in 1884. Now the 18th century building is spread over seven townhouses on Bath’s Queen’s Square, one of the prettiest garden squares in the city.

The luxury 98-room boutique property offers individually designed, air-conditioned bedrooms; some with four poster beds and views over the city. The hotel has also been awarded Gold Green Tourism Award.

Following a day of sight-seeing and exploration, unwind in one of the plush individually designed bedrooms. Equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay, some of the bedrooms also offer views over the city.

Mouth-watering dishes await guests in the on-site Boho Marché restaurant, offering a delicious twist on classic dining. Enjoy flavoursome dishes including seared sea bass, perfectly cooked rump of lamb and decadent chocolate parfait. All combined with top-class service and a friendly welcome to ensure guests have the best stay. 

Dog-Friendly Features

As a dog friendly hotel, guests can bring up to two dogs to stay with them in the special dog-friendly rooms. After an evening walk in the area, guests can dine in Boho Marché followed by coffee and dessert in Emily’s with their dog who also get to have some special treats.

Afternoon Tea

There is nothing quite like an afternoon tea in elegant English surroundings, and guests at The Francis Hotel Bath are sure to be charmed by the offering at Emily’s Tea Room. Celebrating traditional British flavours, both savoury and sweet, enjoy freshly made sandwiches and a selection of sweet treats. It is a taste of affordable luxury in the heart of Bath. During December, enjoy a festive twist on a traditional afternoon tea. Click here to view the menu and book your afternoon tea.
