Live like a Bridgerton at The Gainsborough Bath Spa

The wait is nearly over for Bridgerton fans as the beloved period drama is set to return to our screens in 2022 for a much awaited second season. Bridgerton captured our hearts last winter, taking viewers from the midst of lockdown into the magical, historic streets of Bath. The Georgian grandeur and sophistication which the Bridgerton families lived, dined, and danced in, can be experienced with a visit to YTLs' The Gainsborough Bath Spa. The hotel’s Georgian splendour offers guests a taste of living like a Bridgerton, with classic British afternoon tea and a prime location, neighbouring the Bath Assembly Rooms and Holburne Museum, where parts of the series was filmed. The Gainsborough Bath Spa has even partnered with The Bath Tour Guide to offer bespoke tours with keen historian and police officer, Adge Secker BEM for a salacious dive into the city’s hidden secrets (even Lady Whistledown would approve). Transport yourself back in time with storybook cobbled streets and splendid regal architecture at every turn.  Almost as steamy as Bridgerton itself, the hotel offers an indulgent spa experience, bathing in Bath’s healing thermal waters, the only hotel in the UK to offer this experience. For added luxury, The Gainsborough Bath Spa is proud to offer Bridgerton fans the chance to stay at The Townhouse, a private Georgian property that combines the space of a private home with luxury five-star services. Offering accommodation over four floors and private access to the historic Cross Bath, The Townhouse is perfect for Dukes and Duchesses alike.
