Hotel Indigo takes a row of honey-coloured Georgian townhouses and gives them a much less sensible interior life. Its 154 rooms riff on Bath’s history of writers, architects, romance and general eighteenth-century misbehaviour, with velvet, pattern and plenty of colour behind the very respectable Grade I-listed frontage.

For groups, it is more practical than the boutique styling might suggest. Standard rooms can come with two single beds, while Premium rooms are publicly listed with either two singles or two double beds. Connecting rooms are available on request too, which gives you considerably more flexibility than a hotel built entirely around romantic king rooms.

The real reason it earns its place, though, is that the hotel is actively set up for celebrations. There are private dining rooms, a speakeasy-style event space and cocktail masterclasses that the hotel itself specifically recommends for hen parties. So you can have the Georgian-Bath aesthetic without having to pretend nobody mentioned the word hen at reception.
