The striking brutalist facade of this 1960s-built luxury hotel belies the chic, stylish spaces within. In a prime waterfront location a 15-minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads station, with direct trains from London, it's the ideal base for exploring the maritime history, culture and nightlife offering in this buzzing city. For such a centrally located sleepover, the atmosphere inside is tranquil, with staff on-hand to attend to every whim. Decor is elegant with pops of colour; rooms overlook the city or the harbour. The star of the show is The River Grille with its glass frontage and enviable position overlooking the quayside and Pero's bridge - ideal for breakfast with a view or an intimate dinner à deux.
We love that there's no car required here - you can walk everywhere.
The hotel is centrally located in the creative quarter close to Bristol's shops, bars and museums.

With a welcoming atmosphere and luxury amenities, the hotel suits everyone from couples to bridal parties and business travellers. We love the friendly, can-do attitude of the front desk staff, especially when it comes to local attractions, restaurants and places to visit.
The hotel's green team aim to make the 1960s building relevant to the 21st century with zero waste, renewable energy and sourcing of local products.
