Hort's Townhouse

Style

The ‘gert’ Gatsby

Setting

Town centre on tap

Pub with rooms Hort’s Townhouse brings a dash of art deco glamour to the heart of Bristol. Rooms pull inspiration from the Roaring Twenties, pairing velvet and geometric prints in sumptuous hues. Step outside, though, and the city’s modern-day cultural cachet is all around, with its headline-grabbing graffiti, grassroots museums and budding gastronomic scene a stroll away. And the simple pleasures of this boutique bolthole – seasonal pub grub, keep-them-coming cuvée spritzes, and breakfast in bed the next morning – are timeless.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Choose based on your favourite chair – a regal rollback, chintzy floral tub or classic velvet scalloped number.

Dress Code

Casual is cool here, but don a drop waist and vintage sparkle if you want to rep the Roaring Twenties.

Hotel Restaurant

The pub menu makes cockles-warming use of seasonal British produce, with classics like haddock and chips, and gravy-soused pie and mash, alongside more mould-breaking morsels – Dingley Dell pork schnitzel, perhaps, or gnocchi with lemon thyme and fennel. At breakfast, a Continental buffet is bolstered with indulgent à la carte options including mascarpone-topped French toast, St Ewes eggs benny and a croissant croque-madame.

Hotel Bar

It might seem wrong — when in Rome, and all that — but it’s worth straying from cider, here. Hort’s shook up Bristol’s bar scene back in the day when it served the city’s first cocktails. That mixological MO is still going strong today – the Nyetimber cuvée punch and lime, coriander and chilli-laced picante prove that.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 7am to 11am, Monday to Friday, and 8am to 11am on Saturday and Sunday; the lunch menu is available from 11.30am to 7pm, and dinner is served from 5pm to 9pm. The bar pours from 11.30am to 9pm.

Room Service

If breakfast (or supper — no judgement) in bed sounds like a plan, you can order dishes up via a handy app.

Planes

It’s a half-hour drive from Bristol Airport, where flights touch down from all over Europe.

Trains

Breeze in direct from London Paddington, Manchester Piccadilly, Edinburgh and more to Bristol Temple Meads station, a 20-minute walk (or 15-minute cab ride) from Hort’s.

Automobiles

There’s no parking at the hotel, but Bristol city centre has plenty of public car parks. The nearest, NCP Bristol Nelson Street, is a five-minute walk away and costs £25 for 24 hours’ parking.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Nearby St Nicholas Market is worth a prowl for foodie bits and offbeat souvenirs. The Stokes Croft neighbourhood is enduringly community-focused, with its local artist-run shops, vintage stores and clothing boutiques smattered with colourful street art. Down at the harbourside, M Shed is a lively museum charting local people’s history and the Arnolfini hosts globe-spanning contemporary arts exhibitions. For act two of your cultural tour, catch a play at the Bristol Old Vic. And it’s worth the trip a little further afield to see the Clifton Suspension Bridge – the view from the Clifton Observatory over the Avon Gorge makes it prime picnic territory, perhaps while pondering the magnificence of the name Isambard.
