Holidays in Bristol: the ideal hotels for your stay
Elegant & central: Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel
For over 150 years, the Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel has impressed guests from all over the world with its classic luxurious ambience. Behind the hotel, you can see the top of one of Bristol’s most important landmarks already: the cathedral. The Bristol Marriott Hotel couldn’t be closer to the city centre and the picturesque harbour. This makes it the perfect starting point for exploring many attractions on foot. This four-star hotel also delights visitors with its in-house Miller & Carter Steakhouse restaurant. It offers a variety of British and Irish dishes, with a particular emphasis on original ingredients from various ethnic cuisines.
Complete with the right wines: Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin
Right by the cliffs of the Avon Gorge, you can find Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin. Its unique location overlooking the Clifton Suspension Bridge can be enjoyed over breakfast from its spacious terrace. It has tasteful, well-appointed rooms, some with views over what is probably Bristol’s most famous structure. It is also famous for its diverse selection of wines, including a few rare vintages – place your trust in the sommelier.
Wellness by the harbour: Harbour Hotel & Spa Bristol
The Harbour Hotel’s rooms are inspired by Bristol’s flair: a mix of fine furnishings and vibrant colours. The former bank building from the 19th century is in the centre of Bristol. Inside the hotel, you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city with a trip to the sauna or a dip in the hydrotherapy pool. Enjoy several dining options at Harbour Kitchen, a multi-award-winning restaurant serving modern British cuisine, and the Gold Bar, located in the former office of the Bank Director.
Countryside enjoyment: Berwick Lodge
The small Berwick Lodge is set in 18 hectares of picturesque parkland and offers views out over the valleys to Wales. Originally built in 1890, the building was a sumptuous wedding gift for the daughter of a general. Today, each of the 14 rooms seem even more like a girl’s dream come true. All of its rooms are decorated with an individual style and combine classic furnishing styles with modern accents. The Lodge in Bristol is best known for its fine cuisine. The in-house restaurant has won numerous awards and impresses diners with traditional British cuisine using regional ingredients.
Fish & Jazz: The Bristol Hotel
The Bristol Hotel is located right by the harbour. Many of the city’s attractions are right on your doorstep, including the cathedral. The four-star hotel restaurant offers guests a typical English breakfast in the morning. Inspired by the name The River Grill, the highlights of the dinner menu are dishes with local fish and seafood. Afterwards, you can enjoy traditional cocktails and specials while listening to jazz in the in-house Rick’s Bar.
Luxurious: Bathen House Boutique Hotel
Even as you approach from the outside, the converted city mansion looks like a fairytale castle. And the luxury continues everywhere inside Bathen House. The elegant ambience is defined by chandeliers hanging from the ceilings, marble walls and free-standing bathtubs. The boutique hotel is located in Bath, about 22 kilometres away from Bristol. It claims to be home to one of the best restaurants in the region, Bouvardia. This fine-dining restaurant is designed in the style of a large orangery and specialises in British and European cuisine.
For special requests in the morning: Victoria Square Hotel
The name gives the game away: this hotel is located on the famous Victoria Square Garden in Clifton Village. Furnished with an abundance of British charm, it spans two listed buildings. The rooms are located in a former Victorian terrace, some with views of the Square Garden. Special requests are welcome here: one of the hotel’s special offerings is its breakfast, prepared fresh every day for each individual guest.
Twice as stylish: The Berkeley Square Hotel Bristol
Located between Berkeley Square Garden and Brandon Hill Park, is The Berkeley Square Hotel Bristol. This four-star boutique hotel is located in a listed Georgian building – and its contrast with the modern and colourful interior design of Bristol’s first art hotel makes for a charming experience. The Berkeley Square Hotel also houses the award-winning fine-dining restaurant Square Kitchen, which pampers its guests with a menu that changes daily.
