Royal Mineral Water Hospital, Grade II listed hospital building in Bath, England
The Royal Mineral Water Hospital features a Bath stone facade with a pediment depicting the parable of the Good Samaritan on its 1860 western extension.
Construction of the hospital, designed by John Wood the Elder, began in 1738 to serve poor individuals seeking treatment using Bath's mineral waters.
The building houses a collection of twelve notable artworks, including portraits of influential figures such as Ralph Allen and Benjamin Morris, the first apothecary.
The hospital provided specialized treatments for rheumatology, chronic pain management, and neuro rehabilitation until its relocation to the Royal United Hospital in 2019.
Fragrance UK purchased the property for £21.5 million in 2018 with plans to transform the historic medical facility into a four-star hotel.
