My room at No. 15 by GuestHouse in Bath.
Okay, I admit that one in every of the foremost reasons for my selection No. 15 by GuestHouse When I used to be on the lookout for hotels for my trip to Bath, I used to be drawn to the Pantry, a comfy little room that’s repeatedly restocked so guests can grab snacks at any time of the day or night. I used to be not disenchanted.
But even in case you’re not a snack fan, No. 15, conveniently positioned on Great Pulteney, one in every of town’s most famous streets, is the proper base for exploring the attractive and historic city of Bath. Its beautiful Georgian architecture is quintessentially Bath and the hotel itself is made up of three Grade II listed townhouses, so you recognize you are staying in what the United Kingdom considers to be “a place of outstanding importance.” Many scenes in Bridgerton were filmed on Great Pulteney and you might recognise the outside of the Holburne Museum at the tip of the road as the house of Lady Danbury.
Enter No. 15 is a feast for the senses, with stunning and irreverent artwork in all places. Room keys are kept in a dollhouse behind the front desk, vinyl records line a stair wall, and random collections of paintbrushes and artist palettes decorate public areas. The atmosphere is hip and fun and splendid, but in no way stuffy. Children and dogs are welcome and supplied with their very own treats.
Eclectic, well-thought-out spaces
A record player and a doll’s house with tea and low making facilities are standard features in each room at No. 15. … [+]
The 36 guest rooms each have their very own individual style – and lots of it. All feature fastidiously chosen amenities reminiscent of a comfy Hypnos Lansdowne cashmere mattress, a Nespresso tea and low set in an illuminated doll’s house and a record player with a number of vinyl. You can swap the records or pick up latest ones from the hotel’s extensive record library on the bottom floor.
My room on the Pulteney was so comfortable and apartment-like, with its high ceilings and big windows overlooking one in every of Bath’s most luxurious streets, that I suddenly found myself lying in bed imagining what it might be prefer to live on this beautiful city.
The all-you-can-eat pantry
A cabinet filled with goodies within the pantry at 15 Bath.
As mentioned above, every guest has access to the complimentary pantry 24 hours a day. Of all of the amenities No. 15 offers, that is the pièce de résistance and I wish every hotel would copy it. Who doesn’t love the concept of ​​raiding the pantry?! This one incorporates a small fridge filled with drinks and a freezer filled with ice cream, together with jars filled with candy, a shelf with chip bags, and a bin filled with fresh fruit. Plates of homemade pastries sit on a small table. The pantry is such a thoughtful idea and makes you’re feeling like a valued member of the family fairly than a hotel guest.
First class food within the basement
My table at bar number 15 before my food was served.
Because you may’t live to tell the tale snacks alone, The Bar No. 15 offers a surprisingly extensive menu, in addition to a big range of cocktails, wines and beers. I had a “small plate” (not small) of ribs with blue cheese slaw and a unclean burger that was deliciously sinful in its indulgence level.
Breakfast is a cornucopia of cooked and continental options with a British accent. Whether morning or evening, the atmosphere is as special because the food and I’m still attempting to work out tips on how to create a table just like the one I ate at – glass-topped and strewn with vintage trinkets.
An urban wellness oasis
The Spa at Bath No. 15.
It wouldn’t be a hotel in Bath with no spa and the Spa No. 15 easily lives as much as the top quality offering of this wellness-focused city. I had a bespoke massage and my therapist Charlotte really focused on the areas that were tight from carrying the heavy bags of books I had bought. I really like that you simply get a card with QR codes that you could scan to get samples of the essential oils utilized in the treatment and to download the special playlist so you may recreate the sounds and smells at home. It will bring back so many sensory memories of an exquisite stay at No. 15.
