Hotels in Old City, Bristol

The Old City is Bristol's medieval core, a compact grid of narrow lanes between the harbour and Broadmead. Corn Street's Georgian former exchange still fronts markets on its brass Nails trading tables, St Nicholas Market brims with independent stalls and street food, and King Street leads to the 1766 Theatre Royal, Britain's oldest working playhouse. It suits history-lovers, foodies and night-owls wanting bars and independent shops in its own lanes. Everything is walkable, with Temple Meads a short stroll or bus away. Atmospheric by day; the King Street bars make weekend nights lively.

58 hotels within walking distance of Old City, in the heart of Bristol, including 26 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is Harbour Hotel & Spa Bristol, about 46m from the centre of the neighbourhood. The nearest major venue is Ashton Gate Stadium (1.5 miles), as the crow flies.
