Buxton Crescent Hotel

The Buxton Crescent Hotel promises its guests something special: 21st Century pampering in the elegant surroundings of one of England’s finest Georgian buildings.

The Crescent was the centrepiece of William Cavendish, the fifth Duke of Devonshire’s plans to establish a fashionable Georgian spa town in Buxton. He transformed his vision into reality with the creation of Buxton Crescent, a grand retreat for aristocracy and gentry. It was designed and constructed under the guidance of renowned architect of the period, John Carr, at a cost of £39,000 which is the equivalent of £9m today. The Grade I-listed building is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the country.

The redevelopment and restoration of the magnificent building was completed during the summer of 2020 and opened, under Covid-19 restrictions, on 1st October 2020. Read all about its renovation here.
