The Residence in Bath Is Almost Like Home

Simply called The Residence, there's a hotel in Bath, England, that seems to hark back to Jane Austen days of exclusive clubs and high society--except that if we've got the cash, we can stay there too. There are just six rooms for guests but they are part of a larger complex inside an old Georgian house, with a restaurant, bar and gardens also accessible to members of the private club.

Recent guests at TripAdvisor can't speak highly enough of The Residence, with everyone loving the luxurious rooms and a few mentioning the "adults only" drawer, too! But a UK Telegraph review over the weekend was not quite as over-the-top impressed, citing short showers, erratic bar service and inadequate reading lights in bed--but it sounds like they might be a bit on the fussy side.

You probably should be fussy, though, with prices starting from £135 (US$270) for the cheapest room (the Attic) at off peak, which in the case of The Residence means week days; you can pay up to £350 (US$690) a night for the Emperor room on weekends. They sometimes offer cheaper last-minute rates. Their website mentions that wired or wireless internet access (we think they mean both) is also available in your room at no cost, and that earns The Residence a big thumbs up from us.
