Planning a mid-week escape or festive weekend away?

Approaching the festive season, there's no place better to be whisked away into a winter wonderland than Bath, home to a number of must-see historic sites, attractions and activities, as well as the renowned Bath Christmas Market. Spanning the beautiful city centre, there's plenty to discover and make your visit worthwhile. Stick around like a Christmas tree needle and make the most of your trip by getting the full Bath experience in all its christmassy glory.

But you can't do it all in day, so you'll need a place to stay:

Apex City of Bath Hotel

The Apex is a modern hotel located close to the city centre and just a short walk from Bath Spa railway station, the Christmas Market and the city's historic landmarks and attractions.

Stylish double or family rooms boast comfort with bedding technology and walk-in showers and baths. The hotel has a gym, pool, restaurant and bar, so there's plenty to fill the time when you're not exploring the city or traversing the market. Accessibility is great, with ramp access, lifts to every floor and dedicated rooms with wheel-in showers and emergency pull cords, as well as quiet spaces, blue badge parking and much more available.

No. 7 Upper Lansdown

If you fancy a cosier place to sleep, No. 7 Upper Lansdown could be for you. Still within walking distance of the Christmas Market and not far from the Royal Crescent, this 2-bedroom house is perfect for families or couples seeking a little peace and quiet from the bustle of the city centre.

The accommodation is self-catering but you will benefit from on-site parking, a wood-burning stove, internet access and a garden patio to name just some of the luxuries the house has to offer.

Travelodge - Bath City Centre

Ideal for those seeking a central location at a more affordable cost, the Bath City Centre Travelodge is barely a 5-minute walk from the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and the heart of the Christmas Market. You'll also be just 10 minutes from Bath Spa railway station.

Stay in a king-size bed with Freeview television, humming in the background as you take advantage of complimentary tea and coffee while getting ready for some Christmas shopping following an ensuite shower. And that's just the standard rooms.

Bath Narrowboats

One for the slightly more adventurous of guests, Bath Narrowboats are a unique way to stay in the city and make your visit that bit more memorable. Centrally located at the historic Sydney Wharf, you won't find yourself far from the Christmas Market... as long as you don't float away!

Dogs are welcome so the whole family can spend the festive period together. Free WiFi is available, breakfast food supplied, and nearby facilities include bicycle and canoe hire.

The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa

In contrast to staying on one, you could push the boat out and make the most of Bath by literally staying inside one of the city's iconic attractions! The Royal Crescent homes a 5-star hotel just minutes from the city centre and Bath Christmas Market.

On top of experiencing all the festivities the market has to offer, you can spend your visit surrounded by beautiful gardens, receiving spa treatments and swimming in the hotel pool. You can even bring your dog for the luxurious stay.

The hotel has a range of packages and offers available for you to enhance your visit, that you can find on their site.
