Hotels in Bath, the Roman spa city in Somerset
Hotel-based city breaks in Bath, the Roman spa city famed in literature
The ancient spa city of Bath is situated near the River Avon in the county of Somerset in South Western England. The city is aptly named, with several Roman bath houses fed by the unique British thermal springs rising in the city centre. The Romans also built temples dedicated to their gods and goddesses, and popularised “Aquae Sulis” as a visitor destination with appropriate hotel or guest house accommodation between the 1st and 4th centuries A.D.
During the medieval period it became a centre of pilgrimage where the sick sought healing. As a fashionable spa resort and hydrotherapy centre throughout several centuries, increasing development means there are now about 200 Bath hotels and guest houses.
