The Bristol Marriott Royal is just next to the Cathedral. It offers plenty of lounges and an impressive leisure club. There are two eating-options: The Casual Terrace Restaurant and the splendid Palm Court Restaurant, built in the heyday of Victorian architectural achievement. The consistently impressive cooking of the young chef is equally fitting for these formal surroundings. There are 242 bedrooms en-suite. They all have good quality furnishing, luxurious marbled bathrooms and air conditioning.
