Redevelopment Plans

Step onto Queen Square and be greeted by our door host. Welcome to The Francis Hotel.   Stroll into our world of warmth, friendliness and genuine hospitality with a nod to our Georgian heritage.  Take seat in the window to catch a breath, drop your bags, order a freshly brewed coffee and just take us in.  Let us guide you through your welcome, your stay has begun and incredible new memories will be made.

All 98 bedrooms will be sympathetically transformed and seamlessly blend little touches to acknowledge our Georgian heritage whilst telling the stories of the original occupants of the individual townhouses and celebrating the best that Bath has to offer.  With high tech amenities and the latest sleep technology, we will offer a stay like no other.

Ambient lighting, soft music, the hum of vibrant conversation and laughter, join the crowd in our new bar. Where creative cocktails meet locally sourced wines and spirits alongside classic favourites.  Let your hair down, leave the rest of the day behind and elevate your mood.

Bath has a thriving food and drink scene and is a tourist hotspot for dining on delicious local produce and exploring new food trends.  Our brand new restaurant will become one of the most sought-after dining experiences in Bath, an ideal destination for a foodie break, to celebrate a special occasion or unwind at the end of a busy day over timeless classic British dishes using the very best local, seasonal produce.

Start the next chapter of your story in our brand new snug, a space for reflection, cosying up in a corner, making new connections and memories. It will be reminiscent of a Gentleman’s Lounge with feminine touches such as plush, ornate upholsteries and patterned tapestries. During the day a hub for networking, working or relaxation. During the evening, a dedicated space for guests to unwind.

Tourists would flock to Bath over the years to “take the waters” and bathe in the city’s natural spa waters.  Today it may not be possible to bathe in the actual Roman Baths but Thermae Bath Spa is still home to the UK’s only existing natural thermae spa experience, making Bath the UK’s number one city for wellbeing.  As part of our transformation, we will be unveiling an exciting new spa facility.
