Wadworth have started taking dates for both foodand rooms at the iconic Devizes building.
The hotel has 24 rooms plus a large ballroom and formal dining restaurant.
Unlike other Wadworth managed houses, The Bear did not re-open in July last year when coronavirus restrictions eased and only started serving drinks again in September.
He added: “The Bear should be our flagship and we want to get it back to being fully open. But it is a big beast and it is not an easy exercise to manage."
The George Inn in Lacock and the Red Lion in Lacock will also re-open on May 17.
