The Palace Hotel (also known as The Gin Palace") is a historic public house situated on West Street, Old Market, Bristol. It is a grade II listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 Its exterior ornamentation includes two Assyrian-style hermai.
==History==
The Palace Hotel was built in 1869 for the wine and spirits merchant, John Sharp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.davidgoddard.org/p455376052/h134C23BC#h134c23bc )〕 At that time it was thought that a new Great Western Railway main station was going to be established nearby. For that reason it was to have been called the Railway Hotel – but Brunel's great Temple Meads Station was built half a mile south, so trade was less than expected.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brisray.com/bristol/boldmkt1.htm )〕 A smaller Midland Railway terminus, St Philip's Station, was opened nearby but this was closed in 1953 and subsequently demolished.
The bar has a sloping floor.〔
In 2000 Thomas Brooman CBE, co-founder and managing director of WOMAD (World of Music and Dance), took charge of the Palace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://observer.theguardian.com/barguide/story/0,,668136,00.html )〕 He spent much time and money bringing the place up to the high standard for which it is worthy but after 5 years decided it was time to move on. The Palace finally closed its doors in mid-2005 and was sold. The following year the new owner submitted a planning application to change its use to an estate agent's office. In August 2008, further applications were pending, with vigorous counter moves to restore it to a pub. In November 2008 it was announced that the owners of the Bristol Bear Bar across the road had bought the lease and, following a period of decoration in which maintenance of the pub's original features was a priority,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://marshallandkendon.co.uk/cl_palace_hotel.htm )〕 it is now up and running as a pub. It became known as a gay venue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oldmarketquarter.co.uk/the-palace/ )〕
