Thanks to its wonderful Georgian architecture and plethora of attractions, Bristol is firmly established on the tourist circuit and is well-used to catering for all types of travellers and all kinds of budgets. Whether in the city centre or in the surrounding countryside, there is plenty of accommodation to offer the visitor a home-away-from-home.

Arriving and Departing

If you need a place to lay your head as soon as you arrive, fear not; whether you get here by train, car or plane there are hotels conveniently placed. Close to the airport is Town and Country Lodge, whose position and amenities make it a firm favourite with both business and recreational travellers. Holiday Inn Express, City Inn and Marriott all offer convenience and comfort close to Bristol's major railway station, Temple Meads. Standing next to the National Express Coach station is the brand new Travel Inn (Central), which despite being a rather unlovely 1960s tower block, is actually very comfortable and reasonably priced. Its position, at the end of the M32 motorway, also makes it handy for those arriving by car. Just to the north of the city lies another important transport hub, the M4/M5 motorway intersection, and there are numerous hotels which are conveniently placed to offer welcome services to the weary tourist and travelling businessman alike. The Almondsbury Interchange Hotel, the deluxe Aztec and the charming yet inexpensive Abbotts Way Guest House, are all based in this locality.

City Centre

If being in the heart of things is important to you, there are plenty of hotels to choose from in the middle of all the city centre action. For luxury that only money can buy, try deluxe hotels such as the Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, which houses an acclaimed restaurant and top-of-the-range leisure facilities. Jurys on the harbourside, is also worth a try, as are the Thistle, The Berkeley Square and Hotel du Vin (choice of visiting rock stars and trendies) - all of which compete with each other to offer the pinnacle of style, splendour and comfort. There are also plenty of places centrally placed, for those on a smaller budget. City Inn is famed for offering luxurious touches for very reasonable prices and many of the guest houses, whilst lacking in terms of opulence, more than make-up for it by the sheer warmth of their welcomes - such establishments include the Rodney Hotel, the Arches, and Seeley's. If you're travelling on a shoestring consider the Youth Hostel (which enjoys an enviable position right on the quayside) and the funky Bristol Backpackers hostel, where you may well make some new friends. A stay at any of these will put you close to all the shops, nightlife, restaurants and attractions of the busy city centre.

Clifton

Clifton, in the north of the city, has been described as the most elegant suburb in Britain and most visitors spend much of their stay exploring all this area has to offer. Its wealth of Georgian architecture and parkland exercise a unique appeal and sense of tranquillity, making this a great place to base yourself. Exemplary among hotels in this area are establishments such as the Clifton Hotel, Avon Gorge Hotel, (which is directly opposite the Clifton Suspension Bridge and so enjoys an amazing view), the Glenroy Hotel, the The Hawthorns and the The Washington, all of which are ideally placed, close to the lively strip of Whiteladies Road - the scene of many restaurants and bars. More modest buildings such as the Downs View Guest House (where a single Victorian family home has been converted to amply accommodate dozens of guests), Rosebery House and Downlands also offer excellent value for money.

South Bristol

Just over the River, fifteen minutes from the harbour area of the city centre (home to many of the city's attractions - see the District Guide) is the area of Southville. Staying at any of the very cheap B&Bs here is a very good choice for those wanting inexpensive yet centrally placed accommodation. Just slightly removed from all the hubbub of the centre, you can enjoy a day or a night's activity in town and then take the picturesque walk across the two small bridges back to your guest house - there are any number of places to try along Coronation Road.

The East - towards Bath

To visit Bristol and not pop over to Bath, just ten miles away, would be a true shame - not for nothing is our neighbouring city called the "Jewel of the west country". Staying on the east side of the city means you are ideally placed to travel between the two cities with ease. The suburb of Brislington, a village until it became incorporated into the city a little more than a century ago, contains Arnos Manor Hotel and The Beeches, which offer luxurious service in convenient locations. There are also plenty of smaller establishments such as the A4 Hotel and the Woodstock Guest House, which are less expensive but comfortable and welcoming all the same. Further to the east are small villages such as Saltford, which enjoy good accessibility but also have the countryside right on their doorsteps. Brunel's Tunnel House Hotel and the Prospect Villa Guest House are in Saltford itself, and nearby Keynsham offers accommodation which ranges from the informality of the Fiorita (where a family are putting a couple of spare rooms to good use), to the substantial and highly professional The Grange Hotel.

On the City's Edge

If city life isn't for you and you fancy enjoying the wonderful countryside that surrounds Bristol, you're spoilt for choice. Places to stay south of Bristol include Butcombe Farm, Herons Green Farm and Woodbarn Farm, which are steeped in the timeless beauty of the Chew Valley. A little further to the south the massive Mendip hills form an impressive backdrop to lodgings such as Miltons and the Winston Manor Hotel. Visitors seeking a taste of mankind's distant past might like to consider Auden House, located near the Stone Age complex at Stanton Drew. Golfing enthusiasts will be happy to hear of the Thornbury Golf Lodge and the Tracy Park Golf and Country Club. And finally, anyone seeking a tonic to the stresses and strains of modern living should try Ambassadors Health Farm for a weekend of pure pampering.

The Seaside

To the west of the city is the internationally famous seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare, home to traditional seaside pastimes like donkey rides, a walk along the pier and plenty of arcade games. A coastal town of this reputation has no shortage of accommodation - hotel and B&B brochures can be picked up from the Tourist Information Centre (Bristol). Closer to hand, the small town of Clevedon is rather more discrete and less commercialised. It has retained much of the character of its Victorian heyday and as such has a quintessential English air. Establishments such as the Walton Park Hotel and Campbell's Landing provide great bases from which to explore.

An experience of elegance

Brislington
Bristol BS4 3HQ
United Kingdom
+44 117 971 1461
http://www.arnosmanorhotel.co.uk/
A mile from Bristol city centre (along the A4, Bath Road), this impressive "false gothic" building dates from the 1760s, when it was built by a wealthy Quaker businessman. It still retains a good number of original features that give its comfortable interior a unique atmosphere. The Cloisters Restaurant, for example, is set in a converted chapel - the building was home to The Sisters of the Order of the Good Shepherd, a Roman Catholic convent for many years up until the late 1940s. Don't worry - it's rather less austere these days and is very comfortable and cosy.

If you want to see what a typical small English seaside town is like, Clevedon is a good place to start and where better to stay than this small hotel, situated right on the seafront, overlooking the Victorian Pier. The accommodation consists of eight rooms, above a nautically-themed pub. Downstairs you can get bar snacks, have a meal in the restaurant, or just drink a pint or two and play pool, all of which makes this a very relaxing place to stay, away from the hurry and occasional hassle of the city.

City Centre


Bristol
United Kingdom
The city centre suffered severe damage during bombing in World War II. Only the shattered foundations of the castle and churches remain in what is left of the original shopping area by the bridge. Though the bombing and ensuing fires devastated the nearby church of St. Nicholas, it was later restored and now boasts one of the more remarkable church clocks in all of Britain. The post-war reconstruction of the city centre consisted of road expansion and brutalist architecture, a style marked by large, cheap tower blocks. Since the 1980s, however, many of these unattractive boxes have been torn down and rebuilt. The change was marked recently with the demolition and rebuilding of the Broadmead shopping centre.

Clifton


Bristol
United Kingdom
One of the oldest and wealthiest parts of Bristol, Clifton earned most of its wealth in the tobacco and slave trade. Servants were necessary because many of the houses were three or more floors high. Twenty-seven percent of the adult population are full-time students. Clifton was recorded in the "Doomsday Book" as "Cliston", which means "hillside settlement", since it was located on a steep hill. It is an absolutely gorgeous place and a wander round here leaves you with the impression that you've somehow stepped back into time. You can visit all its attractions - Clifton Suspension Bridge, Clifton Observatory and Caves, and Bristol Zoo Gardens for example - or just stroll around, taking in all the marvellous Georgian terraces with their iron balconies. Due north of Clifton is a flat area called Durdham Down, which is often used for recreational purposes.

Spanning the Avon Gorge, this bridge has become the symbol of the city and is a must for any visitors. Designed by Brunel and completed in 1864, you can learn all about its troubled history in the nearby Suspension Bridge Visitor Centre but the way to really appreciate it is to take a walk across it and look down into the spectacular gorge and beyond. Make sure you see the bridge at night as well, it looks truly amazing lighted against the night sky.

+44 117 962 1639
This is a large Victorian Town House situated on the edge of Durdham Downs, between Westbury-on-Trym and Clifton - a great location with plenty of open green spaces to walk around on. The proprietors have been keen to preserve the elegance and charm of the 19th century family home, and this is a sure attraction for anyone who dislikes the rather standardized anonymity of many modern hotels. Not all the rooms are en suite so specify if you want this (they are slightly more expensive).

A great place to stay if you want to be close to all the action. It's a bit of a concrete jungle in this particular part of town and the building itself is rather unlovely from the outside, but it's a modern and slick hotel and best of all, is right in the city center. So, you're just a couple of minutes walk away from all the shops, attractions and businesses. There is a restaurant based here, The Brasserie, as well as a coffee shop and Terrace Bar. There's also a leisure club which is complimentary to all guests. If you stay in the week a single room is £60 and a double room is £80, which includes breakfast. Weekend rates are listed below.

Rodney Hotel


A warm and homely welcome is assured

Clifton
Bristol BS8 4HY
United Kingdom
+44 117 973 5422
Situated in grand and popular Clifton, just one mile from the city centre, this hotel is part of a Georgian terrace and set back from the main road. It benefits from a walled garden where summer guests can enjoy the colourful floral displays. The restaurant, The Marguerite, specialises in French cuisine, and is particularly highly regarded - it's described as being among the top three in the city. Each of the rooms has been named after one of the ships in the fleet led by Admiral Rodney, a leading Bristol figure contemporary with the building itself.

Situated in central Bristol, this family-run hotel was established 40 years ago and has developed from a small guest house to this comfortable two-star hotel. The city centre is less than a mile away and the hotel is also in the vicinity of renowned Bristol beauty spots, such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge or Durdham Downs. It boasts a delightful terrace overlooking the gardens, where barbecues are held in the summer. All the rooms are en suite and if you fancy a bit of luxury, opt for the ones with jacuzzi, whirlpool or spa baths - over a third of the rooms have these.

Travel Inn (Central)


Large tower block, right in the city centre
The Haymarket
Bristol BS1 3LR
United Kingdom
+44 870 238 3307
It might be a concrete tower block rather than a quaint Georgian terrace, but the city's newest large hotel has a lot going for it. Firstly, it's right in the middle of the city centre, close to all the shops and restaurants; secondly it stands at the end of the M32, making it perfect for those traveling by car or bus (it's also next door to the Bus Station) and lastly, you pay per room, not per person, so for couples or those traveling in a group, it's extremely good value. Apart from all that, the company's claim that it offers "Everything you need for a good night's sleep" is reflected by the facilities inside. Even better, it's also next door to grillbar one of the hottest places to eat in the city right now. What more could you need?

Walton Park Hotel


Friendly service and style
Wellington Terrace
Clevedon
Bristol BS21 7BL
United Kingdom
+44 1275 874 253
This friendly hotel is situated 12 miles from the city centre in the quaint seaside town of Clevedon. Don't expect any gaudy seaside attractions such as amusement arcades, this is a small town that prefers to be quaint and understated. There's a small beach and a pier and that's your lot! The hotel is right on a clifftop and so offers superb views across the Bristol Channel to the hills of Wales. All bedrooms are well appointed and are en suite, many also have excellent views.

Washington Hotel


Quiet niche in a charming area of Bristol
St Paul's Road
Clifton
Bristol BS8 1LX
United Kingdom
+44 117 973 3980
Having benefited from a recent refurbishment, the bright and airy reception area sets the tone for the high standard of decoration throughout. Being just a stone's throw from its sister hotel, the proprietors here have dispensed with both restaurant and bar, as Clifton Hotel, has facilities adequate for both. This has certainly enhanced the tranquillity and restful atmosphere considerably. But if this all sounds a bit too sedate for you, fear not - this street is adjacent to Whiteladies Road, a lively and popular strip, full of bars, pubs and restaurants.

Nestling at the foot of the northern slope of the Mendip Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, this hotel (originally a Victorian manor house) is set in one and a half acres of grounds, and is situated approximately 13 miles from the city centre. It doesn't take long to get into town however, and it's a great choice for those of you who want to leave the hubbub behind and relax in the countryside.

Established 11 years ago, this hostel, actually a refurbished wheat store, is set in a very stylish building right in the city centre on the quayside - other hotels would give their right arm for this fantastic location. It's ideally located where the action is - you're close to art galleries, shopping centres, lively pubs, clubs and theatres. Those who like to stay out late should have no problems as, unlike many youth hotels, the Bristol one has no curfew and you can get in as late as you like.
