Bristol Harbour Hotel
Bristol Harbour Hotel is the perfect location for boutique bedrooms, meetings, events and conferences. Fusing two iconic former bank properties to offer contemporary luxurious accommodation with impeccable design and spectacular event space.
Renowned architect William Bruce Gingell is behind the remarkable design of the former Lloyds Bank building, inspired by Sansovino’s 16th century Venetian Library.
The Sansovino Hall is Bristol Harbour Hotel’s most impressive events space. As the grand former banking hall for the Lloyds bank built in 1852, this grand room has a magnificent skylight and an opulent detailed ceiling, which provides a spectacular backdrop for any event. With seating for up to 300 guests or 400 for drink receptions and able to be sectioned for breakout areas, the Sansovino is ideal for any corporate event, including awards ceremonies, dinners, exhibitions, conferences, networking functions, Christmas parties or celebration events.
The Terrace on Corn Street is ideal for alfresco drinks receptions and BBQ’s to bring some of the outdoors to your event.
The Vault is a beautiful space in the original banking vaults of the hotel. With stunning marble and iridescent wallpaper and lights on independent dimmers, it provides a unique back-drop for events, including conferences, private lunch and dinners from 10 to 60 guests or drinks receptions of up to 80. The Room can be divided to create two spaces and has a state of the art Sonos sound system and air conditioning.
Originally the Bank Managers office on the ground floor, The Blue Room is perfect for conference and private dining events for up to 16 delegates seated and 20 guests for drinks receptions. The Blue Room boasts lots of natural daylight, contemporary design and character.
The Treasury is set in a spectacular atrium on the first floor and with a feeling of pure luxury and privacy, it is ideal for intimate events and smaller conferences of up to 12 guest seated and 16 guests for drinks receptions.
Additional informal breakout spaces can be arranged in our Gold Bar.
