Our John Wood Suite pairs history with modern comfort, offering sweeping views of Queen Square and an emperor bed made for the best night’s sleep.

Named after John Wood the Elder himself, the architect who not only designed the building but once lived here too. Made for slow mornings, easy evenings, and everything in between. Super spacious, with a comfy sofa bed and a desk if you need to catch up on emails. Stunning views over Queen Square. An oh-so-comfy emperor bed and lots of thoughtful extras: a GHD hairdryer, spa-like GAIA toiletries, a coffee machine, and a Roberts radio.

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. 9

The Birthplace of Georgian Bath and the Francis Hotel

In the early 1700s, this was home to architect John Wood the Elder, whose first Bath project, Queen Square, set the stage for the city’s Georgian splendour. He lived here until he died in 1754, leaving his son to complete The Circus. More than a century later, Solomon Francis opened No. 10 as a boarding house before it became the Francis Private Hotel. From those beginnings, the hotel has grown into the independent and welcoming place you find today, still part of the fabric of Bath.

Experience Emberwood

A few steps away from your room lies a flame-lit feast.

Settled on the ground floor of the Francis Hotel, our British brasserie is designed to spark every sense. Think St Mawes line-caught fish, ex-dairy sirloin, seasonal salads at their best, and a wine list hand-picked by a local sommelier. The hearth is lit. Your table is ready.
