An historic city centre hotel is entering a new era with reopening planned in late spring following a major restoration.
Parade Park Hotel is being rebranded as Parade Hotel
Parade Park Hotel at North Parade is being rebranded as Parade Hotel and will include a courtyard spa and new restaurant.
It is part of Providence Hotels’ portfolio, which also includes The Kennard in Henrietta Street in Bath.
The Grade I listed Parade Hotel spans three houses 8 – 10 North Parade – that were built around 1740 by John Wood the Elder and originally connected under the road to Parade Gardens.
The buildings were lodging houses from the 1750s for 170 years. Separate hotels were then created, with numbers 8 and 9 becoming connected and known as the Grosvenor Hotel in the early 1920s.
By 1931, No 10 had become Sheriff’s Hotel. It was rebranded as North Parade Hotel about 60 years ago.
The three properties were linked in 1997 to create one single large hotel. Many important features, including staircases, remain.
With restoration work now nearing completion, listed building consent is being sought for new signage on the front of the hotel.
The application to Bath & North East Somerset Council proposes that flat metal letters, similar to that on hotels locally, are pin-mounted to minimise damage to the building.
