Radisson Blu Hotel, Bristol

Rooms and views

Rooms range from standard doubles to family rooms and suites, with the upper floors giving wide views over the Floating Harbour or the city skyline. The top-end suites include one with a terrace overlooking the harbour. There is a bar facing the waterfront, an on-site restaurant serving gastropub-style food, a gym and room service around the clock.

Practical details

There are about 25 parking spaces under the building, which need reserving in advance, and the drop-off point is on Marsh Street. Pets are accepted in a small number of designated rooms for a nightly fee. The Airport Flyer bus stops close by. The hotel also hosts meetings and weddings, with a dedicated meeting floor and a terrace over the harbour. Cots are available on request for families.

Location

Broad Quay puts you between The Centre and the harbourside, so the Bristol Hippodrome, Watershed, Bristol Old Vic and the bars of King Street are all on foot. The SS Great Britain is around half a mile along the water. It suits theatre trips and short city breaks where you want to leave the car.
