The Marriott City Centre Hotel is conveniently located at the end of the M32 motorway.

Please be aware that due to redevelopment work in the area two car parks have been demolished. We highly recommend that if traveling by car you use the Park & Ride - it's easier to get too, easier to park and cheaper than city centre parking!
