A boutique hotel in the heart of St Pauls has been named the best place to stay in the south west region by The Sunday Times, Best Places to Stay 2023. Artist Residence Bristol has been open for just 12 months and has already secured the title of the best in the region for the newspaper's lauded travel guide.
Set inside an old boot factory and Georgian townhouse on the historic Portland Square, Artist Residence Bristol is perfectly located for Bristol city centre and the creative quarter around Stokes Croft. Founders Justin and Charlie Salisbury took over the Grade I-listed building for their "largest and most challenging restoration project to date".
The couple, who own the luxury hospitality group Artist Residence, had planned to open in October 2019 but were delayed due to the pandemic, opening in November 2021. Artist Residence has five hotels in its portfolio promising an "eccentric bunch of fun and friendly places to eat, drink and sleep", with Bristol being the newest addition.
