No sooner is one new hotel announced in Bath (Apex Hotel Bath) than another appears on the horizon. Z Hotels has announced that it is set to open its third hotel outside London in Bath. A 148-bedroom Z Hotel will be part of a £14 million casino development in Sawclose in Bath.
However, beating both to open will be the Gainsborough Bath Spa expected to open in early 2015. Gainsborough Bath Spa is housed in a collection of three Grade-listed buildings in the heart of the city. Part of the building was a former hospital where the thermal waters were used for their healing properties. Gainsborough Bath Spa is claiming to have the only natural thermal spa within a hotel in the United Kingdom.
Gainsborough Bath Spa will feature 99 contemporary bedrooms, Gainsborough Restaurant and bar plus a 1,300 square metre spa with an apothecary, natural thermal water pools, an ice chamber, a sauna and steam room, a movement studio, a fitness centre and 11 treatment rooms. There will be a range of meeting and banqueting suites plus breakout rooms and private dining rooms - with the largest room seating up to 120 guests.
