The Grand, Bristol
Located on Broad Street, the four star luxurious Grand Hotel in Bristol is a quiet haven in the heart of buzzing city. Its central location is ideal for both business and pleasure offering 182 bedrooms and 10 meeting rooms. And you don’t have to worry about parking, as we have our own car park on-site, at an additional charge for overnight stays.
Formerly Thistle Bristol, The Grand Hotel dates from the Victorian age, when local hero IK Brunel reshaped Bristol - and the world - with engineering feats near the Hotel like the nearby Clifton Suspension Bridge and SS Great Britain. In a city that’s no stranger to major feats of construction we’ve been engaged in extensive refurbishment works of our own. We’ve completed a major room refurbishment in the hotel and have fully refurbished our meeting and event hire rooms like the spectacular Wessex Suite and Grand Ballroom beautifully blending modern technology with the building's original Victorian charm.
Bristol is one of Britain’s best destinations for weekend and city breaks and has an enormous range of things to do, from serious retail therapy in the new multi-million pound nearby Cabot Circus shopping centre, discovering Brunel’s greatest engineering achievements to exploring the vibrant café culture and nightlife. The hotel is also situated near The Royal Bath & West County Show in Shepton Mallet.
A leading provider of event and meeting room hire in Bristol's City Centre, The Grand Hotel has ten meeting and event hire rooms and is able to accommodate events ranging from a few people to 600 people seated theatre style in the largest of the meeting rooms. Find the ideal meeting and event hire package to suit your business, wedding or special event needs.
And after a long day of meetings, shopping or sightseeing, the Hotel's Otium Health & Leisure Club has everything you need to relax and recharge.
