Glastonbury Festival is the world's most famous open-air music and performing arts festival, held on Michael Eavis's Worthy Farm in Somerset each June with over 200,000 ticket holders and a cultural impact far beyond its size. Spanning rock, pop, electronic, folk, and world music across hundreds of stages including the iconic Pyramid Stage, it has hosted everyone from David Bowie to Beyonce. Bath is the nearest major city with quality hotel infrastructure, and accommodation in the surrounding area is booked up within hours of the lineup announcement.
Our Picks — Bath
Royal Crescent
Occupying the centrepiece of Bath's iconic crescent, this Grade I listed Georgian masterpiece is the city's ultimate luxury address — all silk fabrics, four-poster beds, and a walled garden spa that feels miles from the world. The Bath Priory Restaurant holds a Michelin star.
City Centre
The only hotel in the world outside Iceland with access to natural thermal waters, The Gainsborough is built over the same ancient spring that fed the Roman Baths. Its underground spa complex draws directly from the source, creating a genuinely extraordinary bathing experience.
Bathwick
A stunning Georgian townhouse on one of Bath's grandest boulevards, No. 15 combines period architecture with boldly contemporary interiors full of art, taxidermy, and colour. The convivial bar and locally sourced restaurant have become destinations in their own right.
Weston
A handsome Victorian Gothic manor set in two acres of walled gardens just minutes from the city centre, The Bath Priory offers a secluded country-house experience with a Michelin-starred kitchen. The heated outdoor pool makes it a summer favourite.
City Centre
Four interconnected Georgian townhouses on a quiet residential street compose this elegant independent hotel with individually decorated rooms and the celebrated Olive Tree restaurant in its vaulted cellar. Quintessentially Bath in the best possible sense.
City Centre
Occupying a terrace of Georgian townhouses on Queen Square — one of Bath's finest — the Francis blends period grandeur with contemporary comfort in a well-priced package. Its central position is ideal for exploring on foot.
