Francis Hotel Spa 5 Bubble Rating

We are absolutely delighted to share that Francis Hotel Spa has been awarded a coveted 5 Bubble Rating by The Good Spa Guide for 2026, one of the UK’s most trusted and respected spa accreditation systems, recognising exceptional spa experiences, outstanding guest care, and excellence across every touchpoint of the spa journey.

Having only opened a few months ago in April 2026, receiving this accolade so early in our journey makes the achievement feel incredibly special for our team. From the very beginning, our vision for Francis Hotel Spa has been simple: to create an intimate, calming sanctuary in the heart of the city where every guest feels genuinely cared for, restored, and able to completely switch off.

The award is also a real testament to the dedication and hard work our team invested before launch. Months were spent carefully refining every detail of the guest journey, from extensive therapist training and treatment delivery through to the warm welcome guests receive on arrival and the thoughtful aftercare advice provided at the end of every experience.

This recognition reflects the passion and dedication of our wonderful spa team, who deliver thoughtful, personalised experiences every single day.

A Boutique Spa Experience in the Heart of Bath

Designed as a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city, Francis Hotel Spa offers a distinctly boutique approach to wellness. With a carefully curated guest experience and a limited number of visitors at any one time, the spa feels wonderfully private, relaxed, and personal.

At the centre of the experience is our private Thermal Suite, featuring the innovative ESPURO steam room, heated benches, and experience shower, a space designed for deep relaxation and mindful restoration.

Guests can also enjoy our tranquil relaxation lounge and spa courtyard, perfect for unwinding before or after treatments with a warming tea or refreshing drink.

Treatments Designed Around You

Every treatment at Francis Hotel Spa is tailored to the individual, whether guests are looking for deep relaxation, visible skin results, or a restorative wellness experience.

We proudly partner with two exceptional treatment houses:

• GAIA, chosen for its holistic philosophy, sustainable values, and connection to the South West
• QMS, renowned for its results driven skincare and advanced treatment expertise

From nurturing massages and restorative body rituals to expert facials and wellness therapies such as Reiki and Reflexology, each experience has been thoughtfully designed to leave guests feeling renewed both physically and mentally.

Our therapists are at the heart of the spa experience, combining technical expertise with warm, intuitive hospitality that helps every guest feel immediately at ease.

Thoughtful Details That Make a Difference

Receiving a 5 Bubble Rating from The Good Spa Guide recognises far more than beautiful facilities. It celebrates the full guest journey from arrival through to departure and the many thoughtful touches that elevate a spa visit into something truly memorable.

We are particularly proud that the assessment recognised:

• Our highly personalised guest experience
• The calm and intimate atmosphere throughout the spa
• Exceptional cleanliness and care standards
• Continuous team training and guest focused service
• Accessibility throughout the spa experience

A New Chapter for Wellness at Francis Hotel Bath

Having opened in April 2026, Francis Hotel Spa represents an exciting new chapter for Francis Hotel Bath. We wanted to create a wellness experience that feels welcoming, sophisticated, and deeply relaxing, somewhere guests can reconnect with themselves while enjoying the timeless elegance of Bath.

To receive a 5 Bubble Rating so early in our journey is an incredibly proud milestone for the entire team.

Most importantly, we would like to thank every guest who has visited us, trusted us with their wellbeing, and shared such wonderful feedback since opening.

We cannot wait to welcome even more guests to discover Francis Hotel Spa for themselves.
