Unveiling the timeless sophistication of The Bristol
Following a tasteful refurbishment, The Bristol, a Doyle Collection hotel, proudly unveils its renewed identity as a 1930s-inspired, art-deco sanctuary along Bristol’s iconic harbourside. The epitome of timeless sophistication, The Bristol invites guests to experience unparalleled comfort and heartfelt hospitality, promising an unforgettable stay.
The Bristol’s transformation is evident from the moment guests enter the vintage-inspired lobby, reminiscent of a grand ocean liner. Beneath the 1930s-inspired Murano chandelier — crafted from hand-blown glass — and surrounded by mirror-lined walls and curated artwork from the private collection of the hotel’s owner, visitors are transported to an era of glamour and sophistication.
The recent refurbishment extends to 20 classic guest bedrooms and three luxury suites, designed in soft neutrals with dashes of rich colour. Flooded with natural daylight and offering views of the vibrant harbourside, these rooms provide a retreat of relaxation and comfort, ensuring every stay is a truly deluxe experience.
