Tales from the Townhouse
Discover our past residents
Our hotel has a story to tell. We were originally a row of seven townhouses. Architects, surgeons, musicians, entrepreneurs and barristers walked our corridors. They called our building home. They witnessed births, deaths and the odd scandal or two. Each townhouse has its own tale to tell. Each shaped the history of the building which we know as the Francis Hotel Bath.
Townhouse No. 11
From family evenings to the life of a grand hotel
In the mid-1800s, genteel families of means called this house their home. Widow Sarah Kitson presided here for more than a decade with calm dignity, followed in 1876 by surgeon Joseph Lawrence, who added to the house’s tradition of care and service. Later, Harry and Louisa Symes raised their children in these elegant rooms. By the late 1870s, No. 11 became the final piece of Emily Francis’s vision. She gathered it with Nos. 6 to 10, and in 1884 the seven Georgian townhouses opened together as the Francis Private Hotel.
