Hotel du Vin

Frommer's Review

This stylish Anglo-French run hotel is one of Bristol's best examples of recycling. Six 18th-century sugar-refining warehouses, lying in the vicinity of the docklands, were taken over and sensitively restored into this inviting small hotel. Today, you'll find a series of "loft-style" bedrooms with superb beds covered in soft Egyptian linen. Each of the accommodations comes with a well-maintained and state-of-the-art bathroom with what management prefers to call "serious" showers (read: large). As much as possible, the original industrial features of the warehouses have been retained for dramatic effect. Even if you're not a guest, you may want to visit for a drink in the Sugar Bar or a first-class meal in the contemporary French restaurant. For such a small hotel, the wine cellar here is most impressive, and specially staged wine tastings and dinners are frequent events throughout the year.
