About The Brunel Room
50 Standing / Reception
50 Seated
Our parquet floors have witnessed countless celebrations in The Brunel Room, from milestone birthdays to intimate wedding receptions. The rich oak panels that line these walls tell their own story, having stood here since this Edwardian building first welcomed guests. That magnificent 17th-century fireplace you'll spot immediately? It's not just decorative, it creates an authentic focal point that draws people together naturally during drinks receptions. We've carefully preserved every historical detail while ensuring the space works beautifully for modern events. The intricate ceiling mouldings and classic chandelier cast warm light across gatherings of up to 50 guests, whether you're planning a standing reception or seated dinner. Natural light pours through the large windows during daytime events, though the room takes on an entirely different character for evening parties when the chandelier and fireplace create that intimate glow our regular clients particularly love. Your guests reach The Brunel Room via our grand Elizabethan-style staircase, an entrance that builds anticipation before they even step inside. We've found this journey upstairs adds something special to events, separating the celebration from the everyday world below. The room's position on our upper floor also means you'll have a more private atmosphere for your gathering. Being just a short walk from Bristol's main transport links and fifteen minutes from Temple Meads Station makes logistics straightforward for your guests. The Old City's restaurants and hotels surrounding us mean everyone can easily find accommodation or grab dinner before your event. We're here on Telephone Avenue, right in the heart of things but tucked away enough to feel exclusive. Whether you're planning a sophisticated cocktail party, an intimate wedding reception, or a special birthday celebration, The Brunel Room offers that rare combination of historical character and practical functionality that makes events memorable.
