Guide: Banking Halls, Gorge Views & Bristol Hotel Rooms

Bristol hotels range from restored banking halls and a converted print works to Clifton houses and a country retreat. The choice turns on neighbourhood, room category and the walk back after dark.

  • Harbour Hotel BristolHarbour Hotel occupies two former nineteenth-century banks on Corn Street, keeping the carved façade and a dramatic old banking hall. Rooms place St Nicholas Market close, while the underground spa needs its own reservation.Book on Booking.com
  • Hotel du Vin Bristol Avon GorgeHotel du Vin Avon Gorge faces Clifton Suspension Bridge from Sion Hill, with gorge-view rooms and an alfresco terrace. The setting justifies a room-category check; the climb back from the harbour is substantial.Book on Booking.com
  • Artist Residence BristolArtist Residence joins a Georgian townhouse to a former boot factory around Portland Square. Rooms have individual character, but original steps and a lively evening bar make accessibility and room position worth checking.Book on Booking.com
  • Hort’s TownhouseHort's Townhouse puts nineteen individually styled bedrooms above a Broad Street pub. Its Old City position is convenient for late arrivals, while pub activity below is part of the stay's character.Book on Booking.com
