PERFECT PLACE
PERFECT PLACE
The perfect venue for your wedding means much
more than just a spectacular setting. It is the
backdrop to the most special day of your life and at
Harbour Hotels we will help you create a day that is
truly yours.
We have all the elements essential for the perfect wedding
day – elegant city surroundings, exquisite cuisine, unsurpassed
attention to detail and first class service. We offer each and
every couple an entirely personal and expert approach to the
most memorable of occasions, from beginning to end.
The hotel fuses two iconic former bank properties, combining
elegance with architectural integrity, with carefully designed
rooms and areas to soak up the impressive surroundings.
Renowned architect William Bruce Gingell is behind the
design of the former Lloyds Bank building; inspired by
Sansovino’s 16th century Library of St Mark in the Piazzatta
at Venice, the property is rich in beautiful historical detail and
wrapped in romance.
Guests are offered the option of staying in one of the luxury
bedrooms, perfect to relax in before and after the celebrations.
With so much to discover in the local area, from St Nicholas
Market, to Bristol’s Cabot Circus, extending their stay over a
few days will mean your wedding is a memorable and exciting
event for friends and family.
