Former Swallow Hotel and attached front entrance balustrades

The former Swallow Hotel, now known as the Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel, is a hotel built between 1863 and 1868 by architect W.H. Hawtin. It was restored in 1991 and features a limestone ashlar exterior with ridge stacks and a slate hipped roof. The building is designed in the Italianate style and consists of four storeys and an attic, with an 11-window range.

The front façade is heavily decorated and symmetrical, featuring a layout of three windows, one window, three windows, one window, and three windows. It has projecting wings with faceted pilaster strips, first- and third-floor sill bands, and a dentil cornice supported by brackets. The attic is adorned with panelled pilasters and a bracketed moulded cornice above the balustrade, which has faceted dies. The ground floor showcases faceted rustication.

A notable feature is the Venetian doorway, which has oval panelled jambs, acanthus capitals, and keyed semicircular arches, leading to a revolving 20th-century door. The ground and first floors have semicircular-arched windows with moulded architraves and large keys flanking the doorway. The wings include two-storey canted bays supported by Corinthian columns, with segmental pediments above them and plain pediments on the outer middle windows. The middle windows are tripartite, while the second-floor windows have raised surrounds and rounded corners with console cornices. The third-floor windows also have rounded corners, and there are semicircular-arched windows in the attic, along with hipped dormers and plate-glass sashes.

The left return of the building matches the symmetrical three-window range of the front. Inside, much of the interior was remodelled in 1991, including a Palm Court with a glazed roof. The hotel is also accompanied by attached balustrades on each side of the 1991 steel canopy and steps.
