The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the 'Hallmark movie' vibes, the comfortable Kingsdown mattresses, and the friendly staff.
The Sessions Hotel, Bristol, A Tribute Portfolio H
$170-240/ notte
Prenota se You want to sleep inside a piece of music history with a record player in your room and a rooftop bar upstairs.
Perché piace così tanto
- Unbeatable location right on State Street (walk to everything)
- Free onsite parking (a rarity in downtown Bristol)
- Incredible industrial-chic design with original mill gears and exposed brick
In sintesi: It’s the coolest building in town, but if you need absolute silence, the creaky historic floors and rooftop beats might keep you up.
Recensito da @artislifecb: I felt like a rockstar crashing in a high-end studio. Spinning Dean Martin on the Victrola while relaxing in that massive bed was the perfect analog detox. The industrial decor and microphone lights give it such a unique soul—definitely not your average cookie-cutter hotel stay.
