Georgian grandeur, modern comfort in Bath

Spread across seven eighteenth-century townhouses on Queen Square, this Grade I listed address pairs Regency-inspired elegance with a crisp, contemporary finish. Emberwood sets the tempo with open-fire theatre from its charcoal hearth and a grand-yet-comforting brasserie mood. For deeper downtime, the spa’s private thermal suite builds a multi-sensory ritual around steam, bubbles, and a hot-and-cold shower circuit.

  • British brasserie energy

    Open-fire cooking and a dramatic kitchen keep Emberwood lively and grounded.

  • Bath on foot

    Step out to shops, galleries, and antique markets in Bath’s walkable City Centre.

  • Readers’ Retreat ritual

    Settle in with a hand-selected book, plus coffee, cake, and daily breakfast.
