Bath’s leading luxury hotel, the five-star, two Michelin-Key, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, has unveiled a number of celebrations to mark Jane Austen 250: the 250th anniversary of the renowned novelist’s birth. Austen has strong connections to the city of Bath, having lived in the city between 1801 and 1806, and used the city as the primary location for Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. While visitors to Bath have always been encouraged to enter Austen’s world through tours, exhibitions, and the Jane Austen Centre, 2025 will see a series of special celebrations across the city. With new experiences for both the local and visitor market, and enjoying a coveted location on Bath’s best-known street, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa is the perfect base from which to celebrate Jane Austen and soak up Regency life.
