Francis Hotel, Bath

The Francis Hotel is a four star hotel located in a Grade 1 listed building on the south side of Queen Square, Bath, Somerset, England. It is part of Accor's MGallery luxury boutique hotel collection.
==Background==

The Francis Hotel occupies seven of the nine town houses built between 1728 and 1736, on the south side of Queen Square.
In the Georgian period, John Wood set out to restore Bath to what he believed was its former ancient glory as one of the most important and significant cities in England. In 1725 he developed an ambitious plan for his home town, which due to opposition he developed outside the existing city walls. Wood created a distinctive image for the city, one that has greatly contributed to Bath’s continuing popularity.
Queen Square is a key component of his vision, and was intended to appear like a palace with wings and a forecourt to be viewed from the south side. Named in honour of Queen Caroline, wife of George II, located away from the crowded streets of medieval Bath, but only a short walk to the Abbey, Pump Room, Assembly Rooms and baths, although outside the city walls Queen Square quickly became a popular residence for Bath's Georgian society.
Wood himself chose to live at No.9, on the south side with the best view of the structure imaginable,〔 until he died. No.9 is now the entrance to the Francis Hotel.
