Parade Park Hotel in Bath to undergo refurbishment

Fairtree has recently announced that Parade Park Hotel, a Grade I Listed property, has successfully obtained the necessary permits from Bath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES) and Listed Building Consent for its redevelopment. Located in the heart of Bath, Parade Park Hotel will undergo a full refurbishment and rebrand, transforming into a new “luxury” establishment symbolising Bath's rich heritage. The comprehensive makeover will include updated interiors, enhanced facilities, and the introduction of state-of-the-art amenities to offer guests an “exceptional” experience. Parade Park Hotel has long been cherished for its history and prime location. The hotel, constructed around 1740 by John Wood, the Elder, originally spanned three houses and connected under the road to Parade Gardens. The buildings served as lodging houses from the 1750s for 170 years, before being converted into a single large hotel in 1997. The hotel is expected to reopen in summer 2025. Joe Bester from Fairtree said: “As we embark on this ambitious redevelopment project, we are committed to preserving its historical significance while introducing modern amenities and design elements. Our goal is to create a unique and luxurious experience for guests, blending contemporary luxury with historical charm. “We are excited about the future and look forward to sharing more updates as the project progresses. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey to date. We look forward to welcoming you to the newly transformed Parade Park Hotel, a symbol of Bath's enduring legacy and vibrant future.” CC Nel, overseeing the project for Fairtree, added: “With the necessary approvals in place, we are now poised to move forward with the next phase of the project. We will be obtaining tenders to commence the transformation of Parade Park Hotel into a distinguished and iconic destination in Bath. This redevelopment will enhance the city's hospitality offerings and contribute to Bath's cultural and architectural heritage.”
