The Queensberry Hotel

The Queensberry Hotel, with its acclaimed, (and only Michelin Star restaurant in Bath) The Olive Tree below, is not shy of flaunting its lovely architecture, individually-designed rooms and sumptuously comfortable shared areas. All of these things – in tandem with a fierce pride in its singular independence – elevate the hotel from the merely functional (a nice place to lay your head) to the truly memorable (a place you’d rave about to friends and family, and make sure to return to).

Originally commissioned as a residential home by its namesake, the 8th Marquess of Queensberry,

this Georgian hotel in Bath encompasses four fabulous Georgian terraced buildings close to the centre of Bath.  On stepping inside, you immediately start to feel wrapped in the idiosyncratic Queensberry experience.

The four original properties are now all one building; this can initially be puzzling, which is all part of the experience. The uniqueness continues: your room – one of 29 – is individually designed and furnished following Georgian tradition, but with twists of contemporary comfort. Every facet has been carefully considered, from the interior design to the luxury bathrooms, from the beautiful wallpaper to the beds, tiles and lighting. 

Downstairs are some comfortable sitting rooms and The Old Q Bar, all of which can be enjoyed at any time, day or night. There is also a walled courtyard garden – a calm and hushed sanctuary in a hotel near the centre of Bath. Below it all is the acclaimed Olive Tree restaurant, awarded its first Michelin Star in October 2018 and proudly maintained every year since.

Complimentary Canton tea and Nespresso coffee are on hand in the drawing room 24 hours a day. A lifelong commitment to exemplary room service means everything is arranged with your every need front and centre, right down to the absence of a minibar: instead, a friendly member of staff delivers freshly prepared, high-quality drinks, direct to your room, 24 hours a day.

The whole team in this boutique hotel in Bath has an uncompromising attitude to service. It is this attitude – combined with contemporary friendliness and informality – that welcomes you on arrival. If you’ve driven, a valet will park your car and have your bags sent up while you’re shown to your room. There’s a complimentary shoeshine service, recent glossies and paperbacks are piled up to pore over, and of course there’s complimentary WiFi throughout all spaces, public and private.
