Each room tells a story of its own, as referenced in the hotel’s history booklet.

An Illustrious History

The Royal Crescent was built in 1767 (just celebrating its 250^th anniversary in 2017) on one of the most famous crescents in the world, and one of the most desirable addresses. Rich and royal residents enjoyed the uninterrupted views of the River Avon and the proximity to the fashionable Bath concert, dancing and gambling venues. No. 16 Royal Crescent became a guest house in 1950 and in 1971, was combined with No. 15 to become The Royal Crescent Hotel.

Throughout history, the hotel has been a haven for notable guests and residents including Beau Nash; Prince Frederick, the Duke of York; Jane Austen; Elizabeth Montagu; Lord Nelson; Thomas Gainsborough; and Amabel Wellesley-Colley, who painted the door and window sashes Primrose Yellow in defiance of the Bath Preservation Trust. The now-famous door remains yellow to this day. In addition, The Royal Crescent Hotel has been featured in films and television including Persuasion (2007, ITV and Masterpiece Theatre), The Duchess (2008), and Our Girl (2014).
