Hotel in Bristol

A challenger to London's claim as the coolest city in England, Bristol is proudly independent from the capital and seriously exciting. Boasting trendy nightlife, modern museums as well as a lengthy history, our Bristol hotels will keep you in the heart of arguably England's best city.

The very best museums combine education with a good sense of humour and At-Bristol is the perfect example of this. A modern technology and science centre, At-Bristol is full of interactive displays including one which allows you to stand inside a gigantic bubble! At some point haven't we all wondered what it would be like inside a bubble? Another recommended family day out is at Bristol Zoo which has been open for 175 years. Set in 12 acres of beautiful gardens, the zoo keeps over 400 species of animals ranging from lazy lizards to playful penguins.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a classic image of the city. Finished in 1864 it was an astonishing feat of engineering at the time and still looks impressive today as it connects two cliffs on the Avon Gorge. The man behind the bridge is Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a groundbreaking Victorian engineer, and he is also responsible for another of Bristol's top attractions, the SS Great Britain. From your Bristol hotel, pay a visit to this stunning ship and step on board to see the first-class cabin, the engine room and the sleeping quarters. SS Great Britain is an award winning attraction and the story it tells of Victorian England is fascinating.

One of Bristol's most famous sons, and one of the reasons the city is now considered so trendy, is internationally famous artist Banksy. Some of his best work is on display in the city so keep your eyes peeled when walking the streets because you might glimpse it. If that sounds confusing, it might help to know that Banksy is an anonymous graffiti artist.

Use your hotel in Bristol as a base to explore this passionately individual city.
