What neighbourhoods are these top-rated Bath hotels located in?+
The properties on this list are spread across several of Bath's most appealing areas. Bathwick is home to The Roseate Villa Bath and The Kennard, both close to the city's green spaces and historic core. Upper Town hosts The Queensberry Hotel, a short walk from the Assembly Rooms and the Royal Crescent. Walcot, a characterful district northeast of the centre, is where you will find Grosvenor Villa. Lucknam Park sits in the countryside outside the city, offering a country estate experience.
Are holiday apartments a good choice for high-rated accommodation in Bath?+
Two of the highest-scoring properties on this list are holiday apartments rather than hotels. Kensington Chapel Apartments and 33 Crescent Gardens both achieve a perfect traveller score of 5 out of 5. Apartments often appeal to guests seeking more space, self-catering flexibility, or a residential feel, and the scores suggest these two deliver a particularly strong experience. They are worth considering if you prefer independence over hotel services.
