Fodor's Expert Review Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel

With a superb location next to the city's medieval cathedral, this is the more palatial of Bristol's two links in this large chain. The reborn Victorian hotel has imposing public rooms, a Miller & Carter steak house on the premises, and top-notch health and business facilities. Some of the well-equipped guest rooms are on the small side, though the suites are spacious and plush.
