Life is busy, chaotic and stressful. And whilst a little stress can be good for us, keeping us on our toes, too much can be extremely bad for our health. That’s why, here at The Royal Hotel, Bath, we offer great value mid-week breaks – during which you can have some much-needed downtime.

Indeed, we don’t think there are many better places for a short, mid-week break than The Royal Hotel, Bath. We specialise in short stays and can offer top-quality accommodation and a Parisian-themed restaurant in our unique, Grade II listed building.

Situated in the heart of the city, we are only a short walk away from lots of Bath’s popular attractions, bars and shops – one of many reasons we are a great choice for your mid-week break. The fact we are linked to one of the country’s best spas also helps, too!

Why Mid-Week?

Our wonderful hotel team are specialists in delivering relaxing and unforgettable short breaks, and we have become well known for our weekend experiences. However, the weekend isn’t the only time you can come to Bath and relax, and it’s certainly not convenient for everyone. That’s why we offer mid-week breaks, too!

With a mid-week break, you will not only save yourself some money, but you will get to experience a slightly quieter and quainter Bath city centre, too. If you’re looking to really relax, mid-week could be ideal, especially if you’re wanting to recharge the batteries whilst the kids are at school.

Why Choose Bath?

There really is so much to love about Bath and, whilst we might be biased, we think it is well worth a trip. It’s the largest city in Somerset for one, with UNESCO World Heritage status due to its deep Roman roots, and a reputation for being a top spa destination worldwide.

Beyond the headlines, the city is also packed full of restaurants, pubs and bars to suit all tastes. There are also some wonderful green spaces – ideal for relaxing and/or entertaining the children.

The Midweek Advantage

There is something uniquely rewarding about stepping into Bath during the week. The streets are calmer, the pace is slower, and the landmarks feel that little bit more personal.

A midweek break allows you to see the city from a different angle, one where you have more space to appreciate the Georgian architecture, wander through hidden side streets, and enjoy conversations with local shopkeepers and café owners without the weekend bustle.

Choosing a midweek break also means more availability at popular spots. Whether you’re interested in securing a table at one of Bath’s celebrated restaurants or booking a treatment at a wellness centre, it is often easier to plan when the demand is lower. 

The relaxed midweek rhythm lets you make the most of every hour, so your time away feels longer and more restorative.

Explore at Your Own Pace

One of the greatest pleasures of visiting Bath midweek is being able to take your time. Without the rush, you can pause to enjoy the little details – the intricate stonework on Bath Abbey, the soft light along Pulteney Bridge, or the peaceful charm of the city’s gardens.

For those who enjoy shopping, Bath’s boutique stores and artisan shops are much more inviting during quieter times. You can browse at your leisure, talk with the makers, and uncover unique pieces to bring home.

Similarly, museums and galleries feel more intimate midweek, giving you the chance to connect with Bath’s history and culture without distraction.

A Culinary Treat Midweek

Dining is always a highlight of any stay in Bath, and midweek is the ideal time to savour it. Restaurants and cafés often have more flexibility, which means a relaxed dining experience from breakfast through to dinner. Brasserie Brunel, our own Parisian-inspired restaurant, provides guests with freshly prepared dishes that make the perfect centrepiece to a midweek evening.

Beyond the hotel, Bath offers everything from traditional English pubs to contemporary fine dining, and the quieter atmosphere midweek ensures you can enjoy your meal at a more leisurely pace. For many, this slower rhythm is what turns a short stay into a lasting memory.

Time for You

A midweek break is not only about exploring the city, it is also about giving yourself time to breathe. With fewer crowds and a calmer energy, it is easier to switch off from the demands of daily life. Whether you spend the afternoon enjoying a book in one of Bath’s green spaces, or simply relax with a drink in our lounge before dinner, the quieter days of the week make it easier to focus on yourself.

Even a short midweek stay can feel like a complete reset. Many of our guests find that stepping away for just a few days during the week leaves them feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to return home with a clear mind.
