Ireland-based operator Dalata Hotel Group has opened Clayton Hotel Bristol City, its first property in Bristol, England.
The group has invested £50m ($65.3m) to transform the former Edward Everard’s Printing Works on Broad Street in Bristol’s city centre into a new Clayton brand hotel.
Located in the centre of Bristol city, Clayton Hotel Bristol City features 255 air-conditioned bedrooms, a bar, restaurant, gym, and several conference facilities.
It will create 80 jobs for local communities.
The four-star hotel property is in proximity with Bristol’s commercial centre and is within walking distance from the main shopping and leisure districts.
Dalata Hotel Group CEO Dermot Crowley said: “The opening of the Clayton Hotel Bristol City is a further demonstration of our Group’s ambition to grow our presence in the UK market.
