Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel will see an internal refurbishment of its ground floor lobby, restaurant and public areas as well as the bedrooms on floors one to three.
Mercure took occupation of the property in 2015 and renamed it Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel but the building itself does boast a colourful past.
Opened in 1869, the building was originally called the White Lion before it was renamed as the Grand Hotel in 1874. It is regarded as one of Bristol's finest hotels with notable former guests including Winston Churchill, The Beatles, Cary Grant and Leslie Howard.
During World War II it was used as accommodation for agents, politicians, royalty and celebrities and acted as a connection point between London and Bristol Airport. The hotel was awarded Grade II-listed status in 1966.
Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel has 182 bedrooms plus eleven meeting and events rooms with the largest – the Wessex Suite – accommodating up to 600 delegates theatre style. Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel is a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads Station.

The £750,000 investment will commence this month and will include a refurbishment of the corridors, themed to bring the outside in, as well as all new signage, carpets and graphics around the venue.
In addition 13 of the venue’s meeting and syndicate rooms will be refurbished to meet the current demand for more flexible, adaptable spaces.
As part of the refurbishment, a kitchen unit will be installed within one meeting room and one syndicate room, allowing for the informality of a ‘kitchen table’ discussion. These ‘Let’s do Lunch’ spaces will allow clients to stay within one room if they choose, to both eat and meet in a relaxed environment to help foster creativity among delegates.
Two informal boardrooms will be created providing a lounge base with comfy sofas and armchairs allowing for a relaxed setting that moves away from the formality of a typical boardroom with a table and chairs set up.
A creative ideas space will also be introduced with casual seating such as beanbags for breakout sessions, workshops or networking.
The rest of the meeting rooms will be lightly refurbished with new carpets and paint to provide a more relaxed atmosphere throughout the entire venue.
