Buxton Crescent is a Grade-I-listed building in the town of Buxton, Derbyshire, England.[1] It owes much to the Royal Crescent in Bath, but has been described by the Royal Institution of British Architects as "more richly decorated and altogether more complex".[2] It was designed by the architect John Carr of York, and built for the 5th Duke of Devonshire between 1780 and 1789.[1] In 2020, following a multi-year restoration and redevelopment project supported by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and Derbyshire County Council, The Crescent was reopened as a 5-star spa hotel.[3]
