Bristol Marriott Hotel

Location: Bristol, UK Sector: Heritage & Conservation / Hospitality & Leisure Client: TW Group (South Wales) Ltd Scope: Glazed Atrium Roof Replacement & Refurbishment

Rooflights & Atriums Ltd successfully completed the specialist refurbishment of a large glazed atrium at the prestigious Grade II listed Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, one of Bristol's most recognisable historic buildings.

Measuring approximately 9.4m × 18m, the atrium presented significant technical and logistical challenges. Completely landlocked within a four-sided internal lightwell, the glazed roof sits directly above an ornate Victorian stained-glass laylight, which had to remain protected throughout the works.

Working alongside TW Group, our specialist installation teams carefully removed and replaced 140 glass units, incorporating new pressure plates and flashings throughout to deliver a fully refurbished glazed roof while respecting the building's historic character.

Access was particularly challenging, with restricted working space, sensitive heritage features and the requirement for the hotel to remain fully operational throughout the project. Careful planning, specialist installation techniques and close coordination were essential to minimise disruption to guests and hotel operations.

Despite the demanding programme and exceptionally hot summer working conditions, the project was successfully completed on schedule.

This landmark refurbishment demonstrates Rooflights & Atriums' expertise in heritage rooflight replacement, large-scale glazed atrium refurbishment and complex architectural glazing projects, particularly where restricted access, historic building conservation and operational constraints require carefully considered solutions.
