Valentine’s Day hotels in Bristol 2022: most romantic places for a night away - from Avon Gorge Hotel to Marriott Royal

As Valentine’s Day approaches and as Visit Bristol power on with their first-ever Bristol BristolHotelsWeek?src=hashtag_click">#BristolHotelsWeekcampaign, we have rounded up some of the most romantic hotels in the city for a cheeky staycation.

Sometimes, one night away from reality is all you need to feel the benefits of an escape and it’s a great way to support our city as the hotel and hospitality sector recovers from the effects of the pandemic.

With the new campaign from Visit Bristol, you can find 22 tips and tricks about hotels across the city, as well as limited-time and year-round special offers.

You don’t always have to leave your hometown to get the most out of a hotel break, and Bristol is full to the brim with new additions, seasonal deals and stylish options. And with eight new hotels popping up throughout 2021 and 2022 and a few incredible refurbishments, it’s the perfect time to get one booked.

So, if you fancy a sneaky night away together but don’t want to stray too far away, take a look at some of these options.

FOR STYLE

The Artist Residence

If boutique is your style and interior design is something you rate highly then the new addition to Bristol of The Artist Residence is the perfect choice for you and your loved one. The new hotel is on creative Portland Square, so only five minutes from Cabot Circus and the bustling Stokes Croft for last-minute gifts and great food.

Set in a Georgian townhouse and old boot factory, the eccentric space has been designed especially to attract the local community as well as visitors from afar. To celebrate Bristol, the hotel has an eclectic array of limited-edition prints and original art, including commissioned works by local artists. With a new main bar, cafe and kitchen being added in spring, too, this is one to watch in 2022.

FOR NEWNESS

Leonardo Hotel

Another new kid on the block, the Leonardo Hotel makes for an easy option for those wanting to change it up a bit and have all the luxuries of a hotel without blowing the budget.

The 197-room stylish hotel is perfect for those who want to fully recline and relax, with their exclusively designed mattresses and DREAM beds pioneered with this in mind. With all the feels of a luxury hotel but at a more budget-friendly price point, this is a brilliant option for a mid-week escape without journeying too far from home.

FOR LUXURY

The Avon Gorge Hotel

A night spent in a bathtub while looking out over the twinkling lights of the suspension bridge sounds pretty romantic, right? Especially from within the dark, cosy and sumptuous interiors of the Avon Gorge Hotel by Hotel du Vin.

When it comes to luxury and a truly romantic night away, the room choices at the Avon Gorge won’t disappoint. Plus, they have extended their winter staycation package so that you can stay for longer and save up to 30% on your room.

FOR BOUTIQUE VIBES

Brooks Guesthouse

Brooks Guesthouse is a boutique property right next door to St Nicholas Market. If quirky romance is your thing, this is the one for you. When it comes to providing an escape away with a difference, this hotel does it very well. Stay in ​​one of their retro airstream-style caravans on the rooftop for an urban glamping experience and for a Valentine’s night that you won’t forget.

According to the campaign by Visit Bristol, too, Brooks’ Romantic Package is available until 31 December 2022, starting from £110 per night for a king room, breakfast in bed, late check out and chocolates and wine on arrival.

FOR HISTORY

Bristol Marriott Royal

Situated overlooking College Green and only a stone’s throw from the harbourside, the grand and palatial hotel of Bristol Marriott Royal is a lovely option for a one-night staycation break.

For those who like the romance of being in a historical building, Bristol’s oldest hotel delivers in heaps. Recently refurbished, the interiors of the Victorian property are stylish and elegant and there’s a real sense that you could be anywhere in the world - think more romantic break in Paris than still in your own city.

FOR RELAXING ROMANCE

Bristol Harbour Hotel and Spa

Don’t feel as though it’s a real hotel break away without a spa to relax in? Luckily for you, the Bristol Harbour Hotel has a wonderful spa to offer, as well as beautiful rooms with romantic touches such as bathtubs in the bedrooms.

The beautiful indoor swimming pool and numerous different treatment rooms for resting and relaxing will provide the perfect antidote to a busy week at work.

FOR BUCKET LIST

The Newt

Considering The Newt in Somerset has just been voted the most romantic hotel in England and among one of the most romantic in the world, it would be crazy not to include it on our list.

So it might be just a little hop, skip and a jump from Bristol, but at only a short drive away in Bruton, it still qualifies as a staycation to us! The beautiful Georgian estate will blow your mind with its picturesque views, sympathetic historic refurbishments and idyllic setting, and you can while away time in the gardens, cider orchard, or spa.
