When you arrive at this stylish 4 star Bristol hotel you'll find a pleasing mix of old and new - stunning timber beams (rumour has it from old sailing ships!) blend with contemporary artwork and stone flagged floors adorned by brightly coloured feature rugs.

All hotel bedrooms are bright and airy, and designed with plenty of space to help you relax and unwind. The Spa has all you need for a challenging work-out in the gym, a more leisurely swim in the 13m pool or (if even that's too much) simply read the Sunday papers poolside on one of the loungers whilst others exert themselves.

Purpose-built meeting rooms make the Aztec Hotel a popular choice for training and conference events. Not only that but the hotel also offers free high speed wireless internet access to guests, making it easy to go online and stay in touch.

With an easy to reach location - just off the M4/M5 - and within a few miles of Bristol City centre, the Aztec Hotel & Spa is also convenient for the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, a stop-over on the way to Devon and Cornwall or exploring the historic spa town of Bath.

Whatever your reason for taking a Leisure or Weekend Break...

Whether it's to explore one of the picturesque areas that surround the Aztec Hotel in Bristol, visit a sporting spectacular or simply indulge in the extensive leisure facilities, you will enjoy the friendly atmosphere and splendid accommodation offered at the Hotel.

Hotels that are a little different.... whilst our aim is to provide high standards in both quality and value, our philosophy has always been to create hotels with character and you'll notice the difference to many of the larger hotel chains.
