Our story
If walls could talk, ours would have a tale or two to tell. We’ve been here for more than 300 years, after all. Each of our seven townhouses carries its own story, shaping the future of Bath and the Francis Hotel as you find it today.
We've great news
We're honoured that the Francis Hotel has been selected as one of The Sunday Times' 50 Best Places to Stay in the UK for 2026.
We couldn't have achieved this without our team who make the Francis Hotel what it is. From our doorman Alex sharing John Wood's story and Emberwood's seasonal British cooking, to Emily Francis's legacy of warm hospitality woven throughout.
Rooms made for rest
Our refurbished rooms combine rich colours and soft textures with simple, modern comforts. Beds are made for a good night’s sleep, showers are bright and refreshing, and every morning a Roberts radio helps set the tone for your day.
When you return from exploring the city, the TV offers everything you need to know about the hotel along with the option to stream your favourite Netflix series, perfect after dinner at Emberwood. You’ll also discover GAIA Skincare, handmade in the South West and chosen to help you unwind. Settle in and enjoy the calm.
Flame-cooked, locally sourced
Check in, drop your bags and head to Emberwood. Here we cook with fire and source with care. Flames bring depth, flavours linger, and the best local ingredients take centre stage. Coal roasted Cornish scallops, dry aged Westcombe Farm côte de boeuf, and for the final flourish desserts to remember. Choose from the dessert trolley or try a signature favourite such as Emberwood rhubarb and custard.
In the heart of Bath
Step outside our front door and you’re just minutes from Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths, and the kind of shops you always promise yourself you’ll browse. Inside, the pace is gentler. Breakfast can stretch out as you plan the day ahead, a book is best enjoyed by the window, and a favourite chair is always waiting for you.
Our team knows Bath inside out. From headline sights to hidden favourites that rarely make the guidebooks, they’ll always be glad to point you in the right direction.
