It is hotels like Haringtons that make Bath what it is a top class destination for city breakers who want peace in the middle of the action. With such a distinguished past to display (Jane Austen and the Roman Empire, how much more sophisticated can one town get?), Bath is ripe old territory for the wine bar and coffee brigade and Bath accommodation makes them welcome in pretty much as many ways as they could care to desire. There are bed and breakfasts, room only hotels, up market boarding houses, convenient little hotels the list is endless, but the king (and Queen) of all of them is, and always will be, the Bath spa hotel.
