Short description

The Royal Hotel has a a great tradition of providing hospitality for over 150 years. Within walking distance of all of Bath's leading attractions.

The Royal specialises in short breaks - its central location and friendly, informal atmosphere makes it a perfect location for a short holiday in the lovely City of Bath. This decidedly Georgian looking hotel was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the famous English architect of the time, for the arrival of the railway in Victorian times and the 'Royal' prefix was given as a reminder of Queen Victoria's visit to the City of Bath. The Royal commenced trading in 1846. The original name was the Royal Station Hotel and because of the growing influence of rail travel and its close proximity to the station in 1852, an upper level footbridge was built directly linking the first floor of the hotel with the station platforms for the convenience of hotel guests. This footbridge remained until 1936. The Royal has changed ownership a number of times during its nearly 150 years of history and in March 1995, PR Inns acquired the business. 'PR' is a small private company, wholly owned by its two partners who are highly experienced hoteliers and restaurateurs. They are committed to continually improving both the physical aspects of the hotel and the standards of service, food and hospitality to ensure that guests have a comfortable and enjoyable visit, which will be repeated many times.

Food and beverages

Our resident General Manager, Sara Todd, is fully involved in the day-to-day running of the hotel and this personal attention extends to the restaurant. It has an enviable reputation for excellent food, specialising in great steaks using only mature British beef, and including grilled chicken, fish, vegetarian dishes and spicy Mexican fajitas plus a daily choice of chef’s specials.

For guests who wish a little more to eat, at lunch and dinner there is an excellent value 3-course fixed price menu with a wide choice of dishes, selected from the à la carte menu for only GBP 17.50. Alternatively, you can choose individually priced dishes from the à la carte menu. Whether you select a fixed meal or eat à la carte, you will enjoy the same high quality in food and service in a friendly and very attractive restaurant, which is fully air conditioned and non-smoking.

Most dishes are freshly cooked to order to ensure that we maintain maximum quality.
