Advisor - A Spa Weekend in Bath, England: Where to Stay, Eat & Explore
Curator’s statement

Bath, England, is a city I’ll always hold close to my heart. I studied at the University of Bath and once lived on the iconic Great Pulteney Street—one of the most elegant addresses in town. Blending history, culture, and a touch of indulgence, Bath is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway. From soaking in natural thermal waters to strolling along Georgian crescents, every moment feels like stepping into another world. Bath’s mix of history and glamour has even made it a star on screen—most recently as the backdrop for Netflix’s "Bridgerton."
