Once the industrial heartland of the southwest, Bristol has more recently become one of the trendiest places in the country with house prices soaring. Separated into districts, each neighbourhood has its own character. The city has a strong maritime history and was a pioneer of the industrial revolution – don’t miss a peek at Isambard Kingdom-Brunel’s groundbreaking suspension bridge and ocean liner, the SS Great Britain. It’s also a superb place to see street art, watch live theatre, soak up some cafe culture and lounge by a lido. Take a look at our favourite self-catering apartments in Bristol.
Berkeley Suites – The Crescent
Found in the leafy district of Clifton, on a charming green square, the Berkeley Suites occupy a Grade II listed Georgian building. Stay here and you’ll benefit from secure parking, access to the gym and spa facilities at the nearby Nuffield Health and an invitation to a private members’ club, The Square (this incorporates one of the best restaurants and bars in the city; The Square Kitchen). Suites are flooded with natural light, furnished with king-sized Vi-Spring beds and workspaces, and equipped with Elemis toiletries, Roberts radios, Delonghi espresso coffee machines, cinema projectors and specially curated video paintings from Open Gallery.
