Bath Accommodation for the Ultimate City Break

The city break has always been popular. It’s getting more so, now that shorter holidays are seen as preferable to more expensive longer vacations: this year in particular, people are opting for domestic holidays with a long weekend type time span, rather than going abroad for a week or two weeks. The advantages of the city break are manifold – first, one doesn’t have to take so much time off work, and second, one can fit several into a year because they’re shorter and more compact. Where to go, though? Well, Bath is a good bet – particularly with the wealth of different options Bath accommodation has to offer. One would suggest that the Bath spa hotel, in particular, is the ideal location for a short, energising break.

With its deluxe combinations of old style building and new style atmosphere, a spa hotel ticks all the boxes for a modern city break. It offers superb luxury within its walls, it’s always close to the action and it will usually pride itself on its seclusion and discreetness – which is to say that it’s the one form of Bath accommodation guaranteed to be right in the heart of things without being too noisy or over the top. The whole point of a spa hotel, after all (and a Bath spa hotel is no different) is to offer guests an oasis in the middle of everything – a place where they can retreat after a busy day out and about; or, if they so wish, where they can hide away and relax while the world bustles past outside.

There’s a particular hotel in Bath’s side streets: one that exemplifies everything the city breaker loves about the spa hotel. It’s called Haringtons, and it sets a bench mark for the upper qualities of hotel in the city – it’s small enough to be intimate, big enough to be private and old enough to be classy. Most importantly of all, perhaps, Haringtons is really hidden away, located within throwing distance of everything that goes on in the West Country’s favourite city but removed from it all at the same time. This Bath spa hotel exemplifies all that’s best about the higher echelons of Bath accommodation – a person could literally walk past it without knowing it was there; but a guest, seated in its private terraced dining area, can watch the whole city without having it intrude on his or her peace and quiet.

It is hotels like Haringtons that make Bath what it is – a top class destination for city breakers who want peace in the middle of the action. With such a distinguished past to display (Jane Austen and the Roman Empire, how much more sophisticated can one town get?), Bath is ripe old territory for the wine bar and coffee brigade – and Bath accommodation makes them welcome in pretty much as many ways as they could care to desire. There are bed and breakfasts, room only hotels, up market boarding houses, convenient little hotels – the list is endless, but the king (and Queen) of all of them is, and always will be, the Bath spa hotel.
