In May 1884, the seven Georgian town houses were opened as the Francis Private Hotel. [6] In April 1942 during World War II, 24 metres (79 ft) of the hotel frontage was lost when a 500 kilograms (1, 100 lb) Nazi Luftwaffe high explosive bomb landed on the east side of the square during the Bath Blitz. Casualties were low considering the devastation, with the majority of the guests and staff having taken shelter in the hotel basement. [6] J. Hopwood rebuilt the hotel in 1952-53, while The Beatles stayed in the hotel in 1963. [7] Present [ edit] Between 2010 and 2012 the Francis Hotel was refurbished by Accor Hotels. The corridors were split into different areas by cross-corridor doors, with these subdivisions roughly marking the boundaries of the different houses. The new interior decoration marks these diversions through the use of different wallpaper in heritage colours and patterns. Blue plaques explain who was in residence at specific dates. [8] The Francis Hotel, which features chef Raymond Blanc 's Brasserie Blanc, presently has 98 bedrooms of three different types: Classic, Superior and Feature.
Many holes have elevated tees, with sweeping fairways which run downhill and there are a good number of uphill holes and dog legs also. Designed by Peter Matkovitch, who comes from Zimbabwe, this is his best design in the world and the course hosted the European Tour in 2016 and will host them again in November 2017. There are some very long par fours, some short par fours and some great par threes. The finishing stretch from holes 14-18 are simply superb, a great climax to a great golf course, which has some water hazards in play to add some extra spice. The fairways are quite generous and most of the difficulty comes on the approach shots, with raised greens and big run offs.
