The Independent's best boutique hotel in Bristol for those on a budget - with the luxury Berkeley Suites next door

The City's self-proclaimed first 'art hotel' touts there's far more to Bristol than Banksy. Boy do we believe it.

Poised like a Bristolean gent off the top of Park Street, Clifton, this dapper Georgian townhouse is
besieged by book shops, independent eateries and exclusive bars. It surrenders itself gladly to this motley milieu of Bristol’s finest.

Having maintained its Georgian features (you know, panelled windows and the like), the hotel offers affordable style and first-rate service on Bristol’s millionaire streets. It’s a 10 minute walk to the City Centre, with the University and Cabot Tower just moments away. Bristol Museum and Art Gallery are also found on Park Street.

You enjoy, as our guest, complimentary membership of The Square, a private creatives’ club with lower deck cocktail bar and lounge. This gives you access to the Square Kitchen, serving a seasonal menu from fresh West Country produce; and the all-new Secret Garden, a boutique-vibed al fresco option – just perfect for Sunday brunch. Eggs Benedict?

Enjoy the decanter of Bristol Cream sherry found in your room; take full advantage of the fast free Wi-Fi; then head downstairs to admire a rotating art exhibition of local artists (the artwork, not the artists). Limited on-site parking available at a charge. Regrettably, parking can not be reserved in advance.
