Where We Ate
The Roman Bath Kitchen - Abbey Street, Bath BA1 1LY, United Kingdom

Turtle Bay - 11 Bridge Street, Bath, BA2 4AS, United Kingdom
Where We Stayed
Hilton - Walcot Street, Bath, Somerset, BA1 5BJ, United Kingdom
What We Did
Roman Baths - Stall St, Bath, BA1 1LZ, United Kingdom
Bath Abbey - Bath, BA1 1LT, United Kingdom
Thermae Bath Spa - Hot Bath Street, Bath, BA1 1SJ, United Kingdom
General Advice
The Roman Baths have excellent exhibits with free audio guides. Well worth the two + hours you might spend here.
Do NOT do the Bizarre Bath walk. Ignore Trip Advisor and Rick Steves. We left halfway thru, it was that bad.
Go to Turtle Bay for drinks. Two for One drinks after 10pm - crazy good deal and super fun bartenders.
Skip the 'Twilight Package' at Thermae Bath Spa and just show up on the day-of. You can get the same spa services for a better price just by skipping the mediocre meal. If you want to do anything other than the pools and steam rooms, such as a massage, book in advance. Those spots filled up quickly.
Pay to take the Tower Tour at Bath Abbey so you can climb to the top. Very cool, but quite the work out with very steep steps.
