Radisson Blu Hotel Bristol  

In the heart of Bristol city centre on Broad Quay, this 18-storey high-rise hotel perches by the harbour. It's a short walk to Cabot Circus, the Hippodrome Theatre, Brunel's SS Great Britain, At-Bristol Science Centre and the Blue Reef Aquarium. Bristol Airport is about 14 km away.

An iconic tower with 176 rooms and five suites — upper floors deliver harbour and city views. Rooms include A/C, flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, coffee makers and bathrooms with tub or shower. The vibe is contemporary and practical, with a lobby lounge and simple, modern décor.

Work out in the fully equipped fitness room, relax in the lounge bar, or use on-site parking for a fee. Complimentary high-speed wireless internet keeps you online. Concierge, bike parking, a small library and 24-hour room service add practical convenience — and you can literally wake up to harbour-side mornings from upper-floor rooms.

A business centre with conference and meeting rooms supports events and corporate stays. Express check-in/out and free high-speed internet throughout help keep meetings running smoothly.

On-site dining includes an Italian menu at Filini and British dishes at Collage, plus a lounge bar for drinks. Buffet breakfast is available daily (fee) from 6:30–10:30 AM, and 24-hour room service is offered.
