The Clifton enjoys a long established reputation for excellent service, combined with a relaxed atmosphere and consequently remains a firm favourite with visitors to the area.
Situated in the heart of beautiful Clifton, we are within walking distance of the city centre shops, boutiques of Park Street, the Waterfront’s bars, restaurants of Clifton Village and top tourist attractions such as the zoo and Brunel’s suspension bridge.
Set in a stunning Bath stone 19th century Neo-Classical converted house, our rooms are all individually decorated and combine modern decoration while retaining the building’s period character. Our team is here 24 hours a day to look after you and we pride ourselves on our friendly but professional service.
We offer individual day gym membership at both the Clifton College with its Olympic sized swimming pool and the Cannon’s gym at highly discounted rates. This makes your stay, whether for business or leisure, as comfortable as possible.
Our fabulous restaurant, Racks Wine Bar, set in our converted cellars is one of the most cosmopolitan bars in Bristol, providing a place for you to socialise and unwind while enjoying the finest wines and coldest beers. Here you can enjoy our bistro menu either in the restaurant with its rich decor of warm reds and exposed brick, or out on the year round heated patio. The gourmet breakfast food and welcoming evening atmosphere make this the perfect place to start and finish your day.
