The Bath Hotel was located at 155 Piccadilly[1] on the site of what is now The Ritz Hotel, London[2] and was adjacent to the Walsingham House.[3] The Ritz' financial backers began negotiations in 1901[4] and purchased the Bath in 1902 simultaneously with the acquisition of the Walsingham. One of the considerations that made the transaction appealing to the city was that they would be able to widen Piccadilly when the Walsingham and Bath Hotels were demolished.[5]
