The Empire is one of Bath's landmark buildings situated in the very centre of the city. Originally built as a hotel in 1901, it was commissioned by the Admiralty during the war years, and, in the mid 1990's, converted into exclusive apartments for the over 50's.
A grandiose entrance hall and original mahogany staircase immediately establish this building's credibility. Residents' drawing and function rooms are located on the ground floor, along with lifts that provide access to the lower ground floor communal facilities and to all apartment levels.
Communal facilities include guest suites, cinema room, laundrette, billiard room, craft room, exercise room, sauna, library and roof garden.

Bath is one of Europe‘s most beautiful cities. It owes its start in life to the hot springs which gave it a magical presence first to the Celts and then the Romans. In the 15th century Bath was still a relatively small market town but by the end of the 17th century it had started becoming a fashionable place to visit outside London. It was propelled by such national figures as Richard ‘Beau‘ Nash into the countries psyche as the place to be seen.
The city‘s Georgian heyday is celebrated in the Pump Room, built above the famous Baths, and where eighteenth century society came to take the waters. John Wood is perhaps the most famous architect to be associated with Bath and Queen Square is his interpretation of the Palladian architectural style. The city has numerous mansions and villas and one of the most beautiful crescents in Europe, Royal Crescent. Bath Abbey is known as the lantern of the west as it features more glass than wall.
