The Queensberry Hotel
Bath, United Kingdom
City Centre
Vibe
Drawing rooms with roaring fireplaces and a secluded walled garden offer an intimate, discreet retreat within a cluster of Georgian townhouses.
“Playful Georgian lodgings”
Quirky retro-modern interiors pair bold wallpapers and slate hues with high ceilings and freestanding roll-top baths.
Hands-on hospitality includes drawing-room check-in, evening turndown, valet parking, and around-the-clock room delivery of bespoke drinks.
Four Grade II listed 1770 Georgian townhouses by John Wood the Younger preserve original fireplaces and ornate plasterwork.
In Bath's Upper Town on Russell Street, steps from The Circus and the Royal Crescent.
“you are greeted by brooding lighting, oxblood and slate gray colored walls, abstract impressionist canvases and odd assemblages of succulent flowers…”
Rooms
Individually styled bedrooms pair vibrant wallpapers and tall sash windows with Vi-Spring beds and freestanding roll-top tubs in select rooms.
Backstory
Built in 1770 for the Marquess of Queensberry, four adjoining townhouses were united in 1987 to form this independent boutique hotel.
Eat & drink
In the basement, Michelin-starred Olive Tree serves seasonal multi-course tasting menus, while the Old Q Bar mixes craft cocktails upstairs.
The neighborhood
Tucked along residential Russell Street, the townhouses sit moments on foot from the stately curves of the Royal Crescent and The Circus.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
