Hotel du Vin & Bistro bar

About

Housed within a collection of beautifully restored Grade II-listed 17th-century sugar warehouses, Hotel du Vin Bristol City Centre is a masterclass in industrial elegance. They set themselves apart by blending gritty historic character—exposed brickwork, reclaimed floorboards, and original window arches with the sophisticated atmosphere of a traditional French bistro. Whether enjoying their secluded, leafy courtyard or the intimate Sugar Bar, guests experience a boutique urban escape that prioritizes personality and heritage over corporate uniformity. 

Conferences & Meetings

The venue's meeting facilities offer a refreshing departure from the standard boardroom, providing inspiring, light-filled spaces that foster creativity. They offer four distinct event rooms, including their largest room, the Lombard, which can accommodate up to 72 delegates for theatre-style presentations or 32 for cabaret. For smaller high-level briefings or breakout sessions, rooms like the Le Pin and Lanson provide a professional yet characterful setting, and Christie’s Library serves as a sophisticated space for networking and boardroom set up. 

Each room is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and modern AV technology, supported by a dedicated events team to ensure seamless execution. To keep your team energized, the in-house culinary team provides "brain food" catering—seasonal menus that focus on fresh, local ingredients and are designed to maintain productivity throughout the day. 

Parties & Social Events

From milestone celebrations to corporate mixers, the venue offers a variety of atmospheric backdrops that require little extra styling. With a total capacity for standing receptions of up to 125 guests, Hotel du Vin Bristol City Centre specializes in bespoke events tailored to your brand’s personality. 

Summer Parties - the secluded courtyard is a hidden gem in Bristol’s city centre, perfect for alfresco drinks receptions, seasonal canapés, and summer networking in a tranquil, Mediterranean-inspired setting. 

Christmas Parties - during the festive season, the hotel transforms with elegant décor and candlelit dining. The venue offers celebration packages ranging from formal three-course feasts to informal festive bowl food, accompanied by curated wine pairings from the extensive cellar. 

Gala Dinners & Private Dining

For grander occasions, the Lombard offers a stunning setting for gala dinners of up to 60 guests, featuring a private ante-room and a secluded roof terrace. If you are seeking something truly unique, Christie's Library features exposed wooden beams, its own private bar and inbuilt BOSE sound system.  For smaller more intimate gatherings, the private dining room Lanson can host  offers bespoke menus and the guidance of the in-house Sommelier to perfectly match your wine to every course. 

Accommodation

Hotel du Vin Bristol offers 40 exquisitely styled bedrooms and suites, each uniquely designed to honor the building’s warehouse heritage. The inventory includes classic doubles, spacious deluxe rooms, and luxury loft suites with mezzanine levels and signature roll-top baths. Their central location offers easy access to the scenic Harbourside, and every room features premium Egyptian linens and powerful monsoon drench showers for ultimate relaxation. 

Social Impact

As part of the Malmaison & Hotel du Vin group, the hotel is a proud supporter of The Burnt Chef Project, a charity dedicated to challenging mental health stigma within the hospitality industry. By choosing Hotel du Vin Bristol City Centre, event organizers support a business committed to the wellbeing of its community. Locally, we participate in Green Tourism initiatives, offering guests incentives (such as a drink at the bar) for opting out of daily room cleaning, which reduces our environmental footprint and supports sustainable local tourism. 

Sustainability policy

The hotel is committed to a Net Zero roadmap and have already achieved a 56% reduction in CO2 emissions across their hotels since 2019. Please find the venue's sustainability policy here
