Clifton Hotel  

Perched between Clifton Village and Bristol city centre, a short stroll from Whiteladies Road and the university. Steps from Victoria Rooms, BBC Bristol, the Royal West of England Academy, Clifton Cathedral, Bristol Zoo and the iconic Suspension Bridge. Pet-friendly and with onsite parking, it’s a smart base for city breaks and event stays.

Set in a Grade II listed Georgian building, the Clifton Hotel keeps original features like floor-to-ceiling windows and a vaulted wine cellar below. Rooms are en-suite and come with a complimentary hospitality tray of fresh tea, coffee, fruit and biscuits. There are 59 guestrooms, a terrace with views and a lively bar beneath, so ask reception for a quiet room if you need peace.

Find a charming vaulted wine cellar bar, the outdoor heated Pavilion terrace, and a relaxed Caffè Clifton downstairs. Onsite parking is available (charges may apply). The hotel offers tour assistance, a picnic area, lifts for accessibility, laundry services and TVs in rooms. Wake up to light through tall windows and easy access to Clifton’s cafes and boutiques.

24-hour reception, luggage storage and laundry/dry cleaning keep things smooth. Wireless internet is available (surcharge) and guests can access a nearby fitness facility at a discounted rate.

Racks Bar & Kitchen downstairs serves seasonally inspired meals, drinks and breakfast with indoor and alfresco seating on the heated terrace. Caffè Clifton offers teas, coffees, cakes, snacks and light lunches. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a fee and limited room service is offered.
