The Bristol Hotel
Sitting pretty on the quayside of the Floating Harbour, this luxury Bristol hotel is surrounded by the best of Bristol’s Old City and maritime history: Bristol Old Vic and the beautifully restored Queen Square, Bristol Cathedral and @Bristol across Pero’s Bridge and of course The Arnolfini, Bristol’s celebrated contemporary arts centre, right next door.
The meeting & events centre at The Bristol Hotel has benefitted from a lavish transformation and now provides executive boardrooms, large syndicate breakout rooms and a main suite for exhibitions, banquets and launch events. Outstanding facilities, elegant, efficient surroundings and unflappable event management experience make meetings and events effortlessly productive.
With floor to ceiling windows overlooking the stunning Bristol Harbourside, individual suites, boasting luxurious features such as Waterford Crystal Chandeliers and deep rich carpets…. this is also the most wonderful setting for your wedding day.
