BRISTOL, ENGLAND

Tap into the edgy vibe and vibrant music scene of this university city by staying at the Hotel du Vin & Bistro. Parts of this exposed-brick-and-steel building (once a sugar refinery, then a warehouse) date from 1728. Of its 40 rooms, the Veuve Cliquot suite - New York loft-style in creams, whites and browns - is the most seductive, with two free-standing baths on a mezzanine overlooking the bed. Also on two levels, but smaller and with just one bath, are Pommery and Pol Roger rooms. The bistro-style restaurant has an excellent Mediterranean menu, with main courses at £14.50.
X-FACTOR
The hotel is within a short walk of some of the city's best bars, such as Severnshed on the waterfront and the new Brownstone Bar on King William Street.
