The Grand, Bristol
Located in the city centre, the four star luxury Grand Hotel is a quiet haven in the heart of buzzing Bristol. 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 stay.
The four star luxury Grand Hotel (formerly known as Thistle Bristol) dates from the Victorian age, when local hero IK Brunel reshaped Bristol - and the world - with engineering feats like the 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 refurbishment of the majority of our bedrooms and have fully refurbished our spectacular Wessex Suite and Grand Ballroom resulting in a more modern and contemporary look and feel whilst retaining the hotel’s Victorian charm.
With its location in the city centre we’re one of the best business, wedding and party venues Bristol has to offer. We have 182 rooms, including Deluxe rooms and Suites and there’s room for 600 people seated theatre style in the largest of our 10 meeting rooms. And after a long day of meetings or sightseeing, our Otium Health & Leisure Club has everything you need to relax and recharge.
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 Cabot Circus shopping centre, discovering Brunel’s greatest engineering achievements to exploring the vibrant café culture and nightlife.

What's on?
The art market has long been recognised for peddling its wares at over-inflated prices. The Affordable Art Fair, held in Temple Meads Station's Old Passenger Shed, provides an antidote, offering a relaxed, unstuffy environment in which to browse and buy.
The Dot to Dot Festival is a unique opportunity to sample a broad range of established and up-and-coming global music acts. Various venues across Bristol play host to this year's festival, which also visits Nottingham and Manchester.
On the first Sunday of every month, the UK's first regular Slow Food market brings the very best local, seasonal, traditionally-produced food and drink from all over the South West to Corn Street in Bristol.
More than 50 artist bookmakers, dealers and small presses fill Bristol's Arnolfini to show and sell their work. BABE (Bristol Artists Book Event) provides a chance to meet and talk to artists and buy their works of art.
Welsh National Opera returns to the Bristol Hippodrome for its annual spring visit. The grand guignol of Strauss' Salome is tempered by Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Donizetti's frothy L'elisir d'amore.
