Nestled in the heart of Bath and situated in the centre of its iconic Georgian crescent, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa is a five-star haven of elegance, excellence and tranquillity. Steeped in a history that spans more than 250 years, having first been occupied in 1775, the Hotel boasts bedrooms and function spaces uniquely designed with spectacular views. Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding editor Kelly Andrews spent a weekend there to find out more. A WARM WELCOME Bath is one of my favourite places on earth, so to have the chance to stay in one if its most memorable and historical locations was a dream come true, and didn’t disappoint. I felt simultaneously naughty and smug as I drove into the Royal Crescent itself as a tour group looked on from its vantage point outside No.1. We were immediately and cheerfully welcomed by the concierge who took our luggage inside from the driving rain and situated us in the stylish, cosy lounge in front of a roaring fire while we waited to be checked in. The Hotel’s incredibly chic and seamless blend of oh-so tasteful modern décor and romantic historical features struck me as soon as I set foot through the doors and was a characteristic I fell in love with more and more throughout my stay. A WORLD OF OUR OWN We were shown to our stunning suite in the Wedding Villa through the beautiful landscaped gardens next to the converted coach houses, where Montagu’s Mews and the Spa are to be found. Hidden behind a gated wall, the Wedding Villa is a home-away-from-home for wedding couples here at The Royal Crescent Hotel, and can accommodate up to eight for the night. To the front of its impressive porticoed entrance lies the delightful secluded Wedding Garden, which our suite looked out over, a real treat. When booked exclusively, this entire section becomes yours for the day, your own private slice of Jane Austen or Bridgerton. The space can host 90 ceremony guests, 30 for a seated wedding breakfast and 80 standing. ULTIMATE RELAXATION Without any further ado, it was time for me to hit the spa!
