Many of the city’s hotels have set up residence in the honey-colored Georgian buildings which Bath is famous for. Expect to find reliable amenities such as free WiFi, on-site eateries, and elegantly designed interiors that mirror the surrounding architecture.

 

Bathwick

 

 

Bathwick is a short hop east of the city centre, and has a range of accommodation options for those looking to stay in a more suburban setting. Close to parks, the river, and a sprawling golf course, Bathwick is ideal for people who want to be in quiet surroundings but only a short distance from the heart of the city.

Oldfield Park

 

 

Oldfield Park is to the west of the city centre and offers a chance to soak up a bit of real Bath living, away from the picture-postcard tourist hotspots. Here you'll be among local families and the big, fun-living student population. It's still within walking distance of the centre, though, and is as pretty as much of the rest of Bath.
