The Townhouse

Within the classical lines and proportions of the Townhouse, the 8 Holland Street team have set the ideal stage for an exuberant play of modern and contemporary artwork, 20th-century European design, studio pottery, textiles and design.

This home-away-from-home provides overnight guests a relaxing base from which to explore Bath.

Spaces To Lounge

Guests enter the Townhouse from a private entrance on Brock Street, just moments from Bath's crowning landmarks, the Royal Crescent and Circus. A hallway and staircase lead up to the magnificent First Floor.

The Drawing Room is open to guests to use as their own throughout their stay. This light-filled space, with grand Palladian window looks out to the street's wonderful facades and provides a comfortable lounge to read, enjoy a drink or plan the day.

Visit 8 Holland Street's gallery, adjacent to the Townhouse and let our team guide you through the secret corners of the city and surrounding area.

Architecture & Design

The Palladian fronted Townhouse was designed by John Wood the Elder in the early 1700s. JWE's singular vision to restore Bath to it's Roman ideal is embodied in the Palladian style and met fierce opposition. Through private investment JWE persevered and built his master plan just on the periphery of Bath's City gates.

The Circus, Royal Crescent, The North and South Parades, Queen Square and Prior Park are all credited to JWE and now celebrated for the character and beauty that is definitively Bath.

The building was lavishly restored by 8 Holland Street opening in 2023 for overnight guests. The guesthouse adjoins our Bath gallery, expanding the portfolio of our original London namesake gallery at 8 Holland Street in Kensington and newest gallery and design studio, the St James's Park Flagship.
