Dukes | Bath is enviably located on Great Pulteney Street, one of the city’s most prestigious addresses. This grand boulevard is steeped in history and counts novelist Jane Austen and anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce among its most famous past residents. Great Pulteney Street was commissioned by Sir William Pulteney and was completed at the end of the 18th century. Dukes | Bath comprises two magnificent townhouses, No. 53 and No. 54, which have served as domestic homes, long-term lodgings and a school. In 1919 the two properties were first combined into a private hotel, St Monica’s. In 1985 the name was changed to Dukes Hotel, in honour of His Grace the Duke of Clevedon.

Dukes operated as a full service hotel through until 2012 when the current owners purchased the property and repositioned these magnificent townhouses as a boutique hotel specialising in exceptional service and a sensational breakfast. Now known more simply as ‘Dukes’, it is our reputation and emphasis on service and unforced hospitality, towards all guests, that will continue to rest at the heart of this wonderful property.
