Bristol hosts a small Christmas market that features a beautifully decorated tree, festive lights, and events for families and friends. If you’re visiting from a distance, you may need to book a night or two in local accommodation.
Hotels near Bristol Christmas Market
Bristol Christmas Market takes place at Broadmead in the Bristol Shopping Quarter. Christmas stalls, the Bavarian Alpine bar and the private igloos are located in the streets and laneways in this pedestrian zone.
There are few hotels in this specific area of the city, but there are more options nearby in the Old City district towards Queen Square, or you could stay in the trendy Stokes Croft neighbourhood.
My top pick is located between Broadmead and the Old City.
Address: The Sugar House, Narrow Lewins Mead, Broadmead, Bristol
The nicest hotel in Bristol that is near the Christmas markets is Hotel du Vin. The hotel is located near the renovated docklands, a short 6-7 minute walk to Broadmead where the market takes place. This family-run boutique hotel is part of the historic 18th-century warehouses that have been repurposed as loft suites in an urban-industrial style. The breakfast is highly rated so be sure to enjoy it while you’re there. The hotel wine bar is perfect for wine enthusiasts.
Hampton by Hilton Bristol City Centre Address: Bond Street, Bristol, UK Highly-rated budget hotels in Bristol are more challenging to come by. If you don’t mind staying in a chain hotel, the Hampton by Hilton is an excellent choice, as it offers comfortable rooms close to Cabot Circus and the nearby Christmas markets. The hotel avoids using single-use plastic, including miniature shampoo bottles and water-efficient showers installed in the bathrooms.
Apartment Stay
Central Located One Bedroom Apt Address: 42 High Street, Flat 1, Bristol An apartment stay is another affordable option in Bristol. There are a few options near the Christmas markets, but I recommend the 1-bedroom apartment at 42 High Street. This well-reviewed, modern apartment is just a few minutes from Broadmead’s shopping area and is conveniently located next to St. Nicholas Market, a popular food stall market, as well as other attractions such as St. Peter’s Church and Castle Park. The 65 sqm apartment is spotless, tidy and fully equipped.
