One way to spend a great weekend would be to visit Bath and enjoy the great range of attractions it provides. These can range from those allied to the famous hot springs, to the great architecture (some by Robert Adam).
To enjoy Bath properly you will need to find a brilliant hotel, and there are lots. The trick will be in honing down the choices to match your requirements. Many of the city centre choices are similar including the architecture. This style can range from large crescents to smaller sets of town houses that have been combined.
Gardens and parks are set out to a very high standard, and the hotels are often dotted amongst them. The stone is uniform in colour which adds a great uniformity to the area.
If you choose well, your hotel will no doubt have a world class restaurant with a superior cellar of wine. There is also an unsurpassed collection of places to eat in the city centre. Shopping is supported by both corporate chains and high class individual businesses.
Many of the hotels in Bath have their own car parking arrangements but you will have to check this carefully. Motoring is not usually a necessity unless you wish to travel further afield and see such attractions as Westonbirt Arboretum and Cheddar Gorge,
