The house
Hotel du VinA restored sugar house
The Georgian refinery runs on classic French bistro cooking and an extensive wine cellar, organized around a secluded courtyard.
What it’s good at
Notable
Split-level loft suites house mezzanine sitting areas over cast-iron roll-top bathtubs.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The forty rooms and suites are classic urban-industrial retrofits, from loft-style double rooms to suites that are actual lofts in the split-level sense.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The historic Christmas Steps and the Bristol Beacon concert hall are both an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Split-level suites set sitting rooms on mezzanine platforms, while bathrooms hold deep roll-top tubs and walk-in monsoon showers.
Restaurant
Bistro du Vin
French bistro classics arrive in a dining room of pale green panelling, white columns, and curved leather booths.
At the table
The green-fronted bar sits against exposed brick walls, pouring cellar wines and whiskies beside low wooden tables.
How it began
Sugar refining began on site in 1728, followed by pipe and snuff manufacturing, until a 1999 restoration saved the derelict warehouses.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
