Empire Hotel, Bath, Victorian hotel in Bath, England
The Empire Hotel stands six stories tall with an octagonal corner tower, featuring eight bays facing Orange Grove and nine bays overlooking the River Avon.
Major Charles Edward Davis designed this Grade II listed building in 1901, creating a lasting architectural legacy before his death as Bath's city architect.
The roof design incorporates three distinct architectural elements representing social classes: a castle, a house, and a cottage for upper, middle, and lower classes.
Located near Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge, the building now contains 43 residential apartments with restaurants operating on the ground floor levels.
During World War II, the Royal Navy transformed the Empire Hotel into their primary postal sorting office, maintaining this function until the 1990s.
