Radisson Individuals adds historic New Bath Hotel & Spa in Matlock Bath
New Bath Hotel & Spa, now part of Radisson Individuals, has joined the UK portfolio as a characterful retreat in Matlock Bath, combining heritage architecture with contemporary comfort. The 18th century property offers guests a blend of countryside escape, wellness and modern amenities in one of Derbyshire's most scenic settings. With 54 thoughtfully designed rooms, the hotel is positioned as a sanctuary for relaxation and short breaks in the Peak District. Its integration into Radisson Individuals brings global distribution and loyalty benefits while preserving a strong sense of local identity.
At the heart of New Bath Hotel & Spa is its signature outdoor lido, a naturally heated open air swimming pool dating back to the 1930s and fed by the region’s mineral spring waters. Surrounded by mature gardens and the sweeping Derbyshire countryside, this atmospheric pool offers a rare experience that connects guests directly to the landscape, and is noted as one of the last facilities of its kind in the country. The wider spa continues the focus on restoration and calm, with an ESPA treatment menu, hot tub, sauna and steam room designed for both hotel residents and day visitors. Together, these elements create a wellness journey where historic bathing traditions meet modern expectations of comfort and care.
Culinary experiences are centred on The Fountain Restaurant, where menus draw on seasonal produce from the surrounding Derbyshire and Peak District region to deliver locally inspired dishes in a relaxed setting. An inviting bar complements the restaurant, offering a comfortable space for afternoon tea, light bites or drinks by the fire after a day of exploring nearby trails and attractions. This combination allows guests to keep their stay self contained on property, whether they are focused on spa time, walking breaks or simple downtime in the countryside.
For events, New Bath Hotel & Spa has been configured as a flexible venue for both leisure and corporate gatherings. The hotel offers two elegant function spaces: The Ballroom, which can host up to 150 guests for weddings, celebrations and larger meetings, and The Derwent Room, suited to more intimate events or business sessions for up to 40 delegates. These spaces, framed by the property’s period architecture and gardens, give planners the option of pairing formal agendas with the relaxed pace of a country hotel.
The location reinforces the hotel’s appeal to guests who want easy access to both nature and culture. Within walking distance are local attractions such as the Peak District Mining Museum, Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Heights of Abraham, while the wider area is rich in heritage sites including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and ancient monument Arbor Low, often referred to as the “Stonehenge of the North.” The property is dog-friendly and easily reached - around 30 minutes from Derby, approximately one hour from Nottingham or Sheffield, and about two and a half hours by train from London - making it a practical base for retreats, staycations and corporate getaways. By joining Radisson Individuals, New Bath Hotel & Spa connects this distinctive local offer to an international audience seeking hotels with strong character and a clear sense of place.
