It’s a popular occasion for locals and those in the surrounding region. If you’re visiting from further away, you might need to book a night or two in local accommodation. In this guide, we recommend hotels near Bristol Christmas Market that are within walking distance of the Christmas festivities.
Hotels near Bristol Christmas Market
Bristol Christmas Market takes place at Broadmead in Bristol Shopping Quarter. Christmas stalls, the Bavarian alpine bar and the private igloos are located in the streets and laneways in this pedestrian zone. There are few hotels in this specific area of the city but there are more options nearby in the Old City district towards Queen Square or you could stay in the trendy Stokes Croft neighbourhood.

The nicest hotel in Bristol that is near the Christmas markets is Hotel du Vin. The hotel is located near the renovated docklands, a short 6-7 minute walk to Broadmead where the market takes place.

Highly-rated budget hotels in Bristol are more difficult to come by. If you don’t mind staying in a chain hotel, the Hampton by Hilton is an excellent choice as it has comfortable rooms that are close to Cabot Circus and the nearby Christmas markets. The hotel avoids using single-use plastic including miniature shampoo bottles and water-efficient showers are installed in the bathrooms.

An apartment stay is another affordable option in Bristol. There are a few options near the Christmas markets but I recommend the 1 bedroom apartment at 42 High Street. This well-reviewed, modern apartment is only a few minutes from the shopping area at Broadmead as well as being next to St Nicholas Market, a popular food stall market and other attractions like St Peter’s Church and Castle Park. The 65 sqm apartment is very clean, tidy and fully equipped.
