The Francis Hotel

About

Nestled on Bath’s iconic Queen Square, the Francis Hotel is housed in a collection of historic Georgian townhouses that have been lovingly restored to their former grandeur. Visitors are immediately struck by the building’s elegant façade, a testament to Bath’s UNESCO World Heritage status. Inside, the hotel offers five distinct room types—from the intimate Snug room perfect for solo travellers, to the cosy and spacious Cozy room, the king‑size Comfy and Generous rooms that cater to families, and the opulent John Wood Suite named after the architect who designed Queen Square. Each room features Egyptian cotton sheets, a 55‑inch smart TV, a coffee machine and a range of locally sourced toiletries that blend comfort with convenience. Dining is a highlight of the Francis experience, with the on‑site brasserie Emberwood serving flame‑cooked, locally sourced dishes inspired by Bath’s culinary heritage. From freshly roasted Cornish scallops to signature desserts, Emberwood’s menu is a gastronomic celebration, and the setting—from the bright, airy terrace to the cosy interior—makes every meal unforgettable. Beyond the comforts of room and food, the hotel invites guests to explore the surrounding city’s treasures: Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths, and charming local shops are all just a short stroll away. Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of Jane Austen, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or simply soaking in the historic architecture, the Francis Hotel offers a quintessential Bath experience that combines heritage, hospitality and modern style.
