The DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre has re-opened following the completion of a comprehensive refurbishment project. The public areas and each of the hotel’s 201 guestrooms have been transformed, bringing them up to DoubleTree by Hilton’s upscale standards with a new design concept that pays tribute to the city’s proud industrial and seafaring heritage.
Relics from Bristol’s heyday as a maritime trading centre adorn the hotel, whilst the legacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the engineer behind the Great Western Railway, is also keenly felt. Nowhere are guests more steeped in the city’s rich history than in the hotel’s centrepiece, the Kiln Restaurant; a listed 17th century kiln which originally forged glassware, is now home to culinary craftsmanship of similar pedigree, offering a unique atmosphere in which to enjoy a range of contemporary dishes.
Simon Vincent, president, EMEA, Hilton Worldwide, said, “Hilton Worldwide has a strong presence in Bristol, operating hotels under three different brands. With the city having recently been shortlisted to be European Green Capital 2015, it is an exciting time to be further expanding our portfolio here.”
DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre is owned by Focus Hotels Management Ltd, and operated under a franchise license agreement with a subsidiary of Hilton Worldwide.
The hotel enjoys an enviable location 400m from Bristol Temple Meads rail station, situated on Redcliffe Way, a main road which leads directly to the historic docks, now a popular tourist attraction, housing Brunel’s majestic steamship SS Great Britain.
DoubleTree by Hilton is one of Europe’s fastest growing hotel brands, with 41 hotels now in operation across the continent. It now boasts 19 properties in the UK, including DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol South – Cadbury House, an idyllic spa retreat set in the North Somerset countryside, half an hour from Bristol’s city centre. Guests at all DoubleTree by Hilton hotels can participate in the award winning Hilton HHonors® loyalty scheme, offering the chance to earn global rewards at over 3,000 hotels worldwide.
