The Queensbury Hotel

Kick back and relax at the Queensbury

Every year thousands of people descend on Bath for the annual Christmas Market, turning the city into a paradise for shoppers determined to find that perfect present for their nearest and dearest. But with so many people crowding the city’s picturesque streets at this time of year, it could quickly become a paradise lost for stressed shoppers as they battle it out to find the best bargains.

The Queensbury in Russell Street, Bath’s only boutique hotel, is on hand to help weary shoppers put their feet up and catch their breath, offering a tranquil haven that’s close to the action but feels as if it’s worlds away. A privately run establishment that’s been lovingly restored over the past five years into a vibrant, contemporary neo-Georgian retreat, the Queensbury offers several stylish drawing rooms, each with their own individual character, a warm, welcoming bar and a celebrated restaurant, The Olive Tree, offering locally sourced British cuisine that’s an eclectic mix of modern English flavours with a Mediterranean influence.

Visitors from further afield can stay in one of The Queensbury’s twenty nine unique rooms, including its new signature room, recently refurbished to a standard that’s in keeping with the hotel’s impressive but unpretentious atmosphere. Rooms start at £115 per night and you can pick up lunch for £16.50, which should take the bite out of the Christmas rush.
