Behind its prestigious doors, The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa has an acre of gardens in which to find refuge.  I recommend you begin your exploration on The Sun Terrace to sample the alfresco menu with a glass of Champagne.  Then, stroll across the manicured lawn to the Spa & Bath House — your very own sanctuary in the city, pictured above.  After an award-winning spa treatment, you’re just in time to take Afternoon Tea in the garden as a variety of birds fill the air with their sweet songs.
 
Private Perks: £72 dining credit, complimentary daily breakfast, early check-in/late check-out, upgrade at check-in, and a cocktail on me (flight of Taittinger Champagne, Grey Goose martini, Sipsmith Gin)
