Reviews What Our Guests Are Saying

Choose The Bristol Over All Chains

I’m having a wonderful stay at the boutique, Bristol Hotel. The hotel is new, chic and exquisite in a great location close to State Street and many restaurants and bars. However, if you decide to stay in and do dinner at Vivian’s Table, like I did, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed! It was fabulous. All of it from start to finish.
