The Spotlight on Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin

Stylish Clifton Stay with Iconic Views and Easy Access to Bristol’s Music Scene

Modern charm meets Victorian elegance at Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin, perched dramatically above the Avon Gorge with sweeping views of Brunel’s world-famous suspension bridge. Located in the leafy Clifton neighborhood, this hotel offers a relaxed, upscale vibe just two miles from Bristol’s buzzing city center and its top live music venues.
Whether you're in town for a once-in-a-lifetime gig or a relaxed weekend of music and sightseeing, this scenic spot blends style, comfort, and location effortlessly.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the peaceful setting after a night out, with the added bonus of being just a short cab or bus ride from Bristol’s major music venues. The hotel’s 14:00 check-in and generous 12:00 check-out make it easy to roll in late and sleep in the next morning. The Clifton location means you’re close to late-night pubs and transport options without being surrounded by the city center's noise.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the action
  • Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans seeking a quieter, scenic recovery spot after the encore
  • Budget-conscious fans who want comfort with character

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s White Lion Bar is a local favorite, offering modern British cuisine and a massive terrace for al fresco dining with unbeatable views. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, there’s a solid selection of restaurants and pubs just a short walk away. Breakfast is served on-site, ideal for late risers recovering from a night of dancing.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, Clifton’s vibrant bar scene is just steps away. Think cozy pubs, wine bars, and chill lounges that make for perfect pre- or post-show hangouts. For more of a party vibe, it's a quick trip into central Bristol for clubs and bigger venues.

What People Say

Guests rave about the breathtaking views from rooms and the terrace, the charming Clifton location, and the overall atmosphere that blends historic character with modern touches. Many say it’s the ideal place to unwind after a busy night out, thanks to the comfortable beds and quiet surroundings.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that not all rooms have gorge views—so it’s worth requesting one if that’s a priority. A few also mention that the building’s age means some rooms are smaller or have quirks, but most agree the charm outweighs the trade-offs.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a scenic, stylish, and peaceful stay within easy reach of Bristol’s concert scene, Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin hits all the right notes.

Good location awful staff and...

Liked: The location
Disliked: The staff were rude! There was very little staff around and when you did encounter someone it was definitely not of a 4star standard! That you would expect paying that premium! They don’t even bother to get back to you when you complain about your stay. I will be contacting their head office as it’s awful service and noone seems to even care !
