“Bristol's creative streak makes the stay as interesting as the evening itself.”
Bristol is a city that likes to do things its own way, and its hotel scene shows it. Converted warehouses, townhouses and design-led stays make for an unusually good second half to a night out.
The casino is easy to fold into a day of wandering the harbour, the independent shops and the many places to eat, which keeps the evening feeling unhurried.
A solid, sociable floor with tables, machines and poker. It suits groups who want an easy evening and a bit of variety.
Look for boutique and converted-building hotels around the centre and the waterfront. Book ahead for weekends, when the city tends to be busy.
Take photo ID and expect a quick membership sign-up. Smart casual works well. Please check hours, poker schedules and your hotel's check-in time in advance.
