Leonardo Royal Hotel Bristol - Formerly The Bristol Hotel in Bristol, England

The River Grille restaurant serves modern English cuisine with locally sourced Somerset beef, West Country cheeses, and fresh local fish, all visible through floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Floating Harbour. The River Lounge provides afternoon teas, light snacks, and a fine wine list in a relaxed setting. Rick's cocktail bar offers a separate exotic atmosphere with a glamorous drink menu, open to guests and visitors alike.

Many rooms provide direct harbour views, with oversized windows and duck down duvets on crisp white linen beds. Suites include Nespresso machines and spacious seating areas, while all bathrooms feature power showers and White Company designer toiletries. The hotel offers classic, standard, and deluxe room categories, with some rooms on higher floors granting panoramic city and water views.

The hotel sits on the quayside of the Floating Harbour, a 10-minute walk from Brunel's SS Great Britain and 200 metres from Queens Square and the Arnolfini Gallery. Cabot Circus Shopping Centre and Bristol Museum and Art Gallery are within 15 minutes on foot.
