Carfax Hotel, Bath

In Great Pulteney Street, in the heart of historic Bath, the Carfax Hotel consists of three beautifully preserved Georgian town houses and offers free parking, lifts and charming en suite rooms.

Centrally located, the Carfax Hotel is an ideal base from which to work or explore one of Europe's oldest and finest cities. The celebrated architect Thomas Baldwin created Great Pulteney Street in 1789, using the famous honey-coloured Bath Stone. Today, the hotel still retains many beautiful original Georgian features, with large rooms with high ceilings and large sliding sash windows.

There are 31 uniquely furnished and individually heated rooms, all of which are en suite with either a bath or shower, or more often both. A continental buffet breakfast and a full traditional cooked English breakfast is included in the price. There is also a computer for public use in the hotel’s lounge, which is free of charge.

Parking is available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis.

The hotel’s impressive breakfasts have won the coveted Green Award for using fresh local produce. The hotel is committed to using the highest quality ingredients and preparation methods for all meals. Fairtrade products are used wherever possible. Evening meals are served in the dining room on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 18:00 to 19:00, with a table d'hôte menu for guests and non-residents. On Sundays, the hotel serves a traditional roast-beef Sunday lunch at 12:00 and 13:30. Coffee, tea and mints can be served in the dining room or in the comfortable public lounge, at an additional cost. Please be aware that the restaurant is unlicensed and does not accept corkage. The hotel reserves the right to cancel any meal subject to staffing. To avoid disappointment, guests are advised to book in advance of arrival.
