Apsley House

Welcome to Apsley House luxury Hotel

This elegant Georgian Country House Hotel built in 1830 by the Duke of Wellington, is set in its own delightful gardens, enjoying stunning views across Bath and the surrounding countryside.

One of Bath’s finest small hotels, with its own story to tell, Apsley House has been refurbished in great style and every care has been taken to preserve the natural elegance of the house, but still provide modern comforts.

With an atmosphere more in keeping to that of a private house than that of a hotel, we invite you to come and stay, and “make yourself at home”.

The House

“Historical Elegance with a Cosy Charm and a Personal Touch”
Located about 30 minutes walk from the City Centre, the Apsley House in Bath was built as the country home for The Duke of Wellington, after his momentous victory against Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo.

The rumor is that it was built as a place where he could keep his mistress of that time, as he was estranged from his wife years earlier.

The history behind the hotel is evident wherever you look, from the original oven downstairs to the Duke’s own master bedroom on the first floor. Spread over three floors (no lift access), all the bedrooms are individually and tastefully decorated – you just need to make a choice!

The magnificently proportioned reception rooms offer both style and comfort, with many period features complimented by the house being furnished with fine antiques and original oil paintings.

The gardens are south-facing and enjoy spectacular views across the countryside, so they are perfect appointed for an evening
aperitif or even a picnic on a summer’s day.
