The Venice-inspired Lloyds Bank building in Bristol is one of two former banks that have been merged together to form the newly-opened Bristol Harbour Hotel & spa.

The hotel’s underground spa features seven treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, areas of rest and relaxation and a fully equipped urban gym.

Set in the former vaults of the 16th Century building – which was inspired by Sansovino's Library in the Italian city – careful restoration has resulted in a striking space with many original features retained, including listed vault doors.

The urban retreat will feature an indoor pool with low-level lighting and an accompanying hydrotherapy pool, enabling guests to enjoy the experience of swimming in the bank’s previous vaults.

ESPA products and holistic treatments will be available, alongside signature Harbour treatments, spa ritual experiences including the 160-minute Ocean Spa Ritual, holistic and advanced facials, specialised massage treatments and holistic alternative therapies.

The spa menu also includes men’s and pregnancy treatments, nail treatments, make-up services and a selection of spa breaks and days.

Situated a short walk from Harbourside and with 42 city view bedrooms, Bristol Harbour Hotel & Spa is part of luxury hotel group Harbour Hotels, which owns 13 coastal, country and city locations across the UK.
