The origin of Bristol hotels around the world

It is said that nearly 200 hotels world-wide are named Bristol. What’s the story behind this famous name? Many stories have been told regarding the origin of the name Bristol. The most dominant version claims that Frederick Augustus Hervey is credited for the name. The 8th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, who died in 1803, toured continental Europe with his own cook and entourage. Word of the earl's lavish tastes spread, so one theory for the popularity of "Bristol" hotels is that the earl's name became synonymous with luxury -- just as hotelier César Ritz's did a century later.
