The Royal Bath Hotel is a building in Bournemouth, Dorset. It is owned by Britannia Hotels and is regarded to be the town's most famous hotel. Since 1974, the hotel has been a Grade II listed building. The hotel was formerly owned by the Mayor of Bournemouth, Merton Russell-Cotes.
History
George Tapps-Gervis built the hotel in 1838. The hotel opened on Queen Victoria's coronation day in June 1838, becoming the first hotel in Bournemouth.
The 1878 extension was designed by Christopher Crabb Creeke. In January 1979 the east wing of the hotel was destroyed by fire.
In 2011 an elderly grandmother was accidentally scalded to death in a bathtub. In 2014 there was a robbery at the hotel. In 2019, armed police were called after a man was stabbed in one of the hotel rooms. The hotel hosted a Coastal Comic Con in 2019.
In March 2024, it was announced that the hotel would undertake a £1 million renovation. The large-scale refurbishment project which involves renovating all 208 bedrooms and bathrooms, addressing structural issues, and upgrading the dining and bar areas is expected to be completed by 2026.
