$$ | 3 N. Parade Passage, Bath, BA1 1NX, England

This small independent hotel in the heart of Bath is made up of two neighboring buildings that have been combined into one single, style-focused property, where each of the 20 rooms is individually and exquisitely designed.

  • Lots of stairs
  • No on-site parking
