About The Queensberry Hotel
The Queensberry runs through four Georgian terraced houses on Russell Street, a short and unusually quiet road between the Assembly Rooms and the Circus. The buildings were commissioned in the 1770s by the Marquess of Queensberry, and the hotel has been in independent ownership for decades, which shows in the way it is run - the staff are long-serving and the atmosphere is relaxed rather than starched.
Twenty-nine bedrooms are graded from Club through Classic, Superior and Deluxe up to Master Deluxe rooms and suites, and the differences are mostly about size and floor level. Decoration is calm and modern with original cornicing and shutters left in place; the top rooms have separate seating areas and, in one case, a four-poster. Beds and bathrooms are of a consistently good standard across all grades.
The Olive Tree Restaurant in the lower ground floor holds a Michelin star and four AA rosettes under head chef Chris Cleghorn, and is the main reason many guests book. Tasting menus are the focus, with a shorter lunch offering. The Old Q Bar serves lighter plates and drinks, and there is a small courtyard garden at the rear that is used for a drink in warm weather. Valet parking is offered, which is worth taking given how difficult city-centre parking is.
The location works well for the Fashion Museum, the Royal Crescent and Milsom Street, all within a few minutes on foot, with the Roman Baths about ten minutes away downhill. It suits couples, food-minded travellers and business guests who want somewhere central, personal and quiet. There is no spa or pool, so anyone set on those facilities should look elsewhere in the city.

What guests say
Chose the Queensberry for a two night break in Bath and we’re not disappointed. It’s a 20 minute walk up the hill from the station, and well located within minutes of the main sights of Bath. From arrival to checkout the staff were fantastic, could not fault them at all. Room was a very good size, especially for a city centre hotel. Comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom. Worth noting there being no tea/coffee making facility in the room - you’ve got to go and get a drink from machines situated in the communal areas, which is frustrating when you want that first coffee in bed. Nice, quiet courtyard to sit and have a drink in, again with excellent service from the bar staff. Tasting menu in the restaurant was amazing, breakfast was adequate, but nothing exceptional.

Lovely hotel. Big, well-appointed room. Excellent breakfast. But they could have done more against the heat. No fridge in room. No extra bottles of water offered. No portable air conditioner. Fans were useless. I know the heat was great - of No longer exceptional - but felt the hotel could have done more.

We could walk to all the major attractions in town amd theor restaurant, The Olive, is fantastic. We will be back to Bath and we absolutely will be staying here

What a fantastic experience we all had at the Queensbury this weekend. Perfect location close enough to all the historic sites in Bath which we wanted to visit and yet peaceful and calm in the evenings. Perfect relaxed atmosphere in the lounge and bar area. Very attentive staff who were not only on hand to assist but anticipated our needs. The Rooms were all excellent, lots of space to relax and all of a high standard and spotless. There was an excellent choice for breakfast to meet everyone's taste. The Taster Menu in the Restaurant was superb, each of the 7 courses was beautifully presented, delicious, and the explanation of the each course by different members of your chef’s team regarding the ingredients and how and why they were combined, was fascinating and added further to the enjoyment of the meal. Incredible selection of wines to accompany the meal and the sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and their selection was perfect. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay in Bath.
