Historic Interest
The Buxton Crescent is an iconic, Grade I-listed, Georgian building, one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the country, and one of the first purpose built hotels in the country.
It was built by the fifth Duke of Devonshire in the 1780s as a centrepiece to establish Buxton as a fashionable Georgian spa town. Designed by John Carr of York, it originally housed two hotels and private lodging houses. Following various uses throughout the 20th Century, it closed in 1992.
Essential repair works were carried out in the mid-1990s afterwhich the ‘Buxton Crescent and Thermal Spa project’ was launched by owners High Peak Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council. In 2003, they partnered with the Trevor Osborne Property Group and CP Holdings Ltd (who own Danubius/Ensana Hotel and Spa Group – Europe’s largest hotel and spa operator).
The renovation was completed during the summer 2020 with the hotel and spa opening, under Covid-19 restrictions, in October 2020.
