Indigo Bath
Contemporary Classic & Lively — Georgian bones, modern personality. Rooms are themed around Bath's literary, architectural, and social history, with five distinct design identities. The underground Vault Rooms in particular have a moody, atmospheric quality that's genuinely unlike anything else in the city.
Vault Rooms can be requested (not guaranteed) — worth asking at booking or check-in if you want the most atmospheric option.
Why It Matters
One of the most coherent examples of the Hotel Indigo concept anywhere in the IHG portfolio — a building that's authentically of its place rather than generically boutique. Two restaurants (The Elder and Brasserie Beau) are both Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award winners and genuine dining destinations in their own right, not just hotel restaurants. The 12 underground Vault Rooms are a singular draw.
Hotel Indigo Bath occupies a row of honey-colored Georgian townhouses on South Parade, originally built in 1740 and now Grade I listed. What was once 12 interconnected private houses — with notable lodgers including Sir Walter Scott and William Wilberforce — is today a 154-room boutique hotel that threads modern luxury through original architecture. Think Hypnos beds and Nespresso machines inside rooms where plasterwork cornicing still carries 18th-century DNA.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Architectural Beauty Room
A love letter to Bath's Georgian streetscapes. Traditional artwork and furniture evoking the honeyed stone buildings and wide avenues of the city at its 18th-century peak.
Garden Room
Rooms overlooking the purpose-built courtyard garden terrace in the centre of the interconnected townhouses. A quieter outlook than the South Parade-facing rooms, with natural light and a calming view.
Literary Hideaway Room
Walls lined with novels from Bath's famous authors, a proper writer's desk, and thoughtful design throughout. The obvious choice for anyone who comes to Bath for Jane Austen rather than the spa.
Premium Room
More space, original Georgian features, and the option of a roll-top bath on request alongside the walk-in rainfall shower. Some of the hotel's finest bedroom designs sit in this tier.
King · 27 sqmRomance & Mischief Room
Themed around Bath's infamous Debutant Season — gambling, frivolity, romantic intrigue. Abstract styling meets Georgian tradition, with modern takes on an era where the rules were made to be broken.
Standard Room (King or Twin)
The entry point, but not an afterthought. Styled across one of five design themes — Romance & Mischief, Architectural Beauty, Literary Hideaway, Garden, or Vault — each reflecting a piece of Bath's history. Spa-inspired bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers. Complimentary soft drinks in the minibar.
King or Twin · 18 sqmVaulted Suite
Built into the 18th-century stone vaults beneath the hotel — 12 of them in total. Moody and atmospheric, with soft lighting and black timber finishes. Separate lounge area with sofa bed, two TVs, roll-top bath, and a walk-in rainfall shower. The most distinctive rooms in the building.
