About

Situated prominently in the history-rich area of Clifton, The Avon Gorge Hotel perches on the cliff edge just above Hotwells, which used to be renowned for direct access to Bristol’s ‘hot springs’, occupying an extremely enviable position in close proximity to Brunel's iconic masterpiece, the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

The building itself began its life as a hotel back in the 19th century, opening its doors in 1898. Known then as The Grand Spa Hotel, it catered in the main for the numerous far-travelling clients who came to seek out the allegedly therapeutic Hotwells springs.

Surrounded by Clifton's stunning Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture, this is undoubtedly one of the South West's, if not the UK's, finest locations...full stop!

Facilities

Wedding celebrations at The Avon Gorge Hotel feature invaluable elements such as the services of a personal event coordinator and a three-course seasonal wedding breakfast, and your guests will be offered preferential overnight rates for rooms.

Although The Avon Gorge Hotel helps couples craft their very own, individual wedding, they have come up with a series of packages to give you a simple breakdown of what is possible in this extraordinary venue. These packages include formal (Bronze - Platinum) and informal options (Intimate and Celebration) as well as their popular Pie and Mash package for a truly unique twist.

Bronze, for example, features minimal-yet-effective extras such as a welcome drink, Prosecco, tea, coffee and mints in addition to the standard three course wedding breakfast menu, whereas Platinum contains a wider variety of unique features such as chair covers with colours of your choice, upgraded food and drink options, complimentary Anniversary Stay and Bridal Suite, and much more besides!
