There’s no doubt about it, Bristol Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin on the edge of the city’s iconic Avon Gorge with views of the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge in cool Clifton Village, has nabbed the city’s most spectacular spot.

Most of the 75 rooms and suites have views over the Avon Gorge. Decorated in rich, moody colours, with luxe velvet chairs and witty period portraits, each elegant room has super comfy beds wrapped in Egyptian linen, monsoon showers or roll-top baths, with all of life’s little luxuries taken care of.

And the views aren’t just reserved for the guest rooms, visitors dining in Bristol Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin’s signature restaurant Goram & Vincent can soak up the dramatic location at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Goram & Vincent offers diners food with theatre no matter the time of day they visit, thanks to its open kitchen with coal fired grills, a smoker and bespoke clay ovens.

Come for cocktails in elegant The Lounge Bar (40 cocktails and mocktails, 30 gins, rums, vodkas and tequilas, 30 whiskies – just saying) or hang out in The White Lion bar which has recently undergone refurbishment. Or head out to the hotel’s expansive terrace (one of the largest in the southwest) to enjoy the buzz of Clifton Village, with seating set against the best backdrop in town.

The hotel makes for a great base for a city break – a stylish place to stay, stellar location and you’re minutes away from the centre of everything.
