Resort Overview
Occupying a magnificent Grade I listed Georgian crescent in the heart of historic Bath, The Roman Colonnade & Thermal Hotel is built directly above Britain's only naturally hot mineral-rich thermal springs. Combining honey-coloured Bath stone colonnades, neoclassical pediments, and serene subterranean baths, the property connects guests directly to two thousand years of thermal leisure history.
The hotel’s gaming amenities are housed in the restored Georgian assembly room, featuring hand-restored ceiling frescoes, polished parquet flooring, and quiet gaming tables that emphasize traditional baccarat and European roulette over high-volume wagering.
Rooms & Regency Suites
Accommodation features seventy-six keys, with the premier suites positioned on the piano nobile. Soaring four-metre ceilings, triple sash windows looking out over heritage rooftops, and ornate ceiling roses frame opulent four-poster canopy beds dressed in crisp ivory linen and sage silk.
