In the heart of Bath, Thermae Bath Spa is a remarkable combination of ‘old and new’ where you can bathe in the naturally warm, mineral-rich waters as the Celts and Romans did over 2,000 years ago. By day and by night, you can enjoy a spa session which gives full use of the indoor Minerva Bath, the multi-sensory Wellness Suite and the open-air rooftop pool with spectacular views over the city & countryside. Additionally, you can choose from over 30 spa treatments and a specially designed set of packages which provide great value for money. Spa users can also sample delicious dishes from the extensive menu in the Springs Restaurant. The stand-alone Cross Bath is an intimate open-air bath which can be hired out for the exclusive use of up to ten people. To add some extra sparkle, you can sip Prosecco whilst bathing in the natural thermal waters.
