The Abbey Quarter is the historical heart of Bath, centred around Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths.

It's a bustling area, great for those who want to be right in the middle of everything.


Couples often enjoy staying near the Royal Crescent or The Circus. These areas offer a more refined and quieter experience, with stunning Georgian architecture and views over Royal Victoria Park.
