Occupying a large Georgian house, The Residence offers intimate accommodation that fuses an informal atmosphere with the highest levels of attentive service.
When you're not exploring the the wealth of history and culture on offer in Bath, this boutique townhouse will pamper you with a personal touch. Amid sophisticated craftsmanship that stylishly combines traditional and contemporary tastes, you'll have no difficulty relaxing. Watch the chef at mealtimes as he works the kitchen's Aga to create what you want, whenever you want it. Unwind in the sauna or summer house; wander the beautiful garden; lose yourself with a book in the library or enjoy a quiet drink in the conservatory bar. Though you may find it difficult to tear yourself away, a courtesy car is on-hand to run you into the nearby town centre.
The Residence began life in 1796 as Ormond Lodge, part of a local estate. During its existence, it has reputedly been one of the homes of exiled Emperor Haile Selassie during the 1930s.
Several public rooms await you, including a very traditional library, where deep red walls and dark mahogany furniture complement oak floors. Lots of books, an internet access point, sofas, desk, study table and chairs and sumptuous soft furnishings are all on hand.
The Conservatory operates as a bar and occasional brunch room. When the weather is right sun streams into this stunning area, which seats 24 as a bar or 14 as a meeting room. Full audio-visual equipment, including a giant pull down screen and sound system, as well as a heated paved outside deck for the warmer times.
The garden is also available with its beautiful Italianate terrace with boule piste, croquet lawn, 2 fountains and a stunning summer house, which offers a cosy escape from the world.

6 rooms
Emperor Suite
 This suite consists of 2 large rooms linked by an arch. The bedroom features a huge Victorian walnut bed that you might need steps to get into, along with an equally large plasma screen to watch once you get cosy.
Windows in both rooms offer views of the garden and sweeping views across both Royal Victoria Park and large parts of urban Bath. The living area has 2 giant leather sofas and a Chinese day bed which doubles as a dining or coffee table; a huge gilded mirror and a fabulous log-burning fireplace, designed by local mason, Ben Gale. Reclaimed French farmhouse oak floors complete the opulent picture. The comestible-laden campaign chest lies temptingly close, together with the fully laden fridge, for when you can't be bothered or would rather not pick up the phone. Just off the rooms is a beautiful bathroom with all modern amenities as well as a gorgeous verdigris French washbasin.

King Room
 The western-most room in the house and perhaps the most romantic. The ideal place for holing up, hoisting the drawbridge and sending down for room service - for the whole week. It offers terrific views of Royal Victoria Park and urban Bath through huge Georgian windows. If it looks cold outside then a white marble fireplace gives you the option of warm and cosy flames.
The over-large bath and shower room has enough Grohe water-dispensing equipment to fulfil every aquatic need, with underfloor heating for the travertine flooring to keep toes warm. The wooden bed is as welcoming as a bed can be, while the campaign chest of comestibles and conundrums is partnered by the heavily disguised drinks fridge, to provide everything you need. If the creative muse hasn't arrived, the huge TV might provide the neutral time to hurry it along.

The Queen Room
 The bedroom has sweeping views to the south of the city and over Royal Victoria Park. It was originally the boudoir of the lady of the house but is now dominated by a 6 foot (1.8 metres) wooden bed, perfect for snuggling up in or watching the large TV.
The bathroom is luxuriously appointed and is situated on a short corridor just outside the room.
