Posh!

The Francis Hotel in Bath was just the bit of "posh" I needed. It had a private parking lot for the use of hotel guests. The front desk staff were so helpful. Someone even went outside to tell Mark where he needed to park and to help get the bags out of the car.

There was a lift (elevator) and our room was uniquely decorated in rich purple and green - note how the closet doors are painted.

There was a Brasserie Blanc that served superb food. Mark had the Beef Bourguignon and I had a fixed price three course vegetarian meal. It was all excellent.

We were very close to the city center and the ancient Roman baths. It's a pity we were only staying the one night. The front desk was very accommodating and allowed us a late check-out time so we could take our time seeing the sights. And since we didn't get to see all the sights, we have a good reason to go back.
