The Gainsborough Bath Spa is embracing the magic of Christmas with a series of seasonal experiences designed to bring warmth, comfort, and a touch of indulgence to the heart of Bath. As the city lights up for the festive period, the hotel becomes a sanctuary for guests seeking a refined and relaxing celebration.
This year, the hotel once again introduces a yuletide twist to its beloved afternoon tea tradition. The Festive Afternoon Tea, available to Wednesday 24 December 2025, brings together classic flavours and Christmas favourites: delicate finger sandwiches, warm savoury treats, freshly baked scones, and beautifully crafted seasonal cakes, served with artisan teas and the option of Champagne or a festive cocktail.
For those looking to make the most of the season, The Gainsborough Bath Spa is also offering a selection of Christmas Breaks. These stays are designed to help guests unwind and savour the magic of the holidays—whether enjoying the hotel’s luxurious surroundings, exploring the city’s festive atmosphere, or simply taking time to pause and reset as the year draws to a close.
The hotel’s restaurant adds to the celebrations with specially created menus for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Each menu highlights thoughtful seasonal flavours and elegant dishes, offering guests the chance to celebrate with family and friends in a warm and beautifully decorated setting.
Throughout the season, the hotel’s award-winning Spa Village continues to provide a soothing escape. Guests can choose from a range of calming treatments and enjoy the gentle warmth and tranquillity that flows throughout the property. Soft velvet lounge chairs, a festive atmosphere, and the hum of relaxed conversation make the hotel an inviting haven from the winter bustle outside.
Whether visiting for an afternoon, indulging in a festive meal, or enjoying a longer Christmas stay, The Gainsborough Bath Spa offers a serene, uplifting setting to celebrate the season.
