Looking for a stand-out venue in Bath to host your next event? Well, you have to take a look at five-star The Gainsborough Bath Spa, located within Bath's famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Brimming with character, history and luxurious contemporary details, The Gainsborough brings together two period buildings, straddling Georgian and Victorian facades to create an architectural masterpiece.
Inside, the hotel boasts designer bedrooms, a portfolio of in-house dining and two swish events spaces which work beautifully for personal or business occasions. First up, there's The Chapel, a stunning space with ornate windows, wall panelling and an arched wall feature, which creates a majestic head of the room. Flooded with natural light and complemented by a tented ceiling, it's the perfect place to bring people together. If using The Chapel for a business event, you might want to set the room up into a theatre layout with space for 80 people, while the boardroom layout is ideal for an important meeting or special dinner for just 25 people. The Chapel has access to the terrace outside and with a capacity of 100 people for a reception, you could interlink the two spaces, especially in the warmer months.
Then, there's The Somerset Room, another period space with views of the famous spa. With monochrome panelling and a patterned carpet, it's a stylish space to host friends, family or colleagues. This space also capacity for a theatre set up, this time for 60 people, a reception of up to 75 or boardroom for 20 people.
Catering can be provided in house and for an idea of what to expect to take a look at The Gainsborough Brasserie's menu with highlights such as charcoal-grilled short ribs marinated overnight in house-made marinade, alongside crispy king prawns tossed in mild sweet, sour and spicy sauce with capsicum and honey pineapple.
