Ideally a city shopping break needs an accommodation option that won’t break the bank, leaving you with plenty of cash to splash in the shops. Look online to book a bargain at the Anchor Road hotel with Travelodge for a savvy stay that will leave you quids in for a shopping session.
Bristol Broadmead
When it comes to convenience, Bristol Broadmead is one of the most easily accessible and varied shopping centres around.
Located just a short 15 minute stroll from the impressive Bristol Temple Meads train station, Broadmead is also a handy distance from most central Bristol hotels.
Together with Cabot Circus and The Galleries, the area has almost 500 national and independent stores.
Locals and tourists frequently flock the huge Harvey Nichols flagship store which occupies over four floors within the Cabot Circus arcade. As the only Harvey Nichols in the South West it certainly makes an impression, along with other leading stores including TOPSHOP, H&M and Next.
Shoppers can rest their feet at Raymond Blanc’s Brasserie Blanc, as well as favourites such as Nando’s, Zizzi and Yo!Sushi.
Cribbs Causeway
Once you have tackled Bristol centre’s scenic shopping spree, a trip to Cribbs Causeway is just what every retail enthusiast ordered.
The mall has over 135 stores, thousands of free parking spaces and 15 cafes and restaurants.
For die hard fashion fans Cribbs Causeway is the home of Bristol Fashion Week. This downscaled version of the most prestigious fashion events across the globe uses mall brands to demonstrate key fashion trends with a more affordable price tag.
For those who have travelled by train to stay in Bristol, public transport links to Cribbs Causeway are plentiful. Buses 309, X11 and X14 all go directly from Bristol to Cribbs and run into the early evening.
