The Buxton Crescent is an historic iconic grade 1 listed building. It is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the country. “The Crescent was the centrepiece of the Fifth Duke of Devonshire’s plans to establish a fashionable Georgian spa town in Buxton, originally having two hotels and lodges. The Crescent has undergone an extensive redevelopment and restoration completed in October 2020, the luxury hotel offers circa 81 bedrooms, including suites, extensive spa facilities, with a thermal natural water spa, and spa lounge.
