The house
IHGTudor-inspired boutique hotel
Chester's timber-framed heritage gets an energetic update, translated into geometric patterns, rich colors, and a lively open-hearth grill.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
it’s a stylish and lively hotel, full of references to (and contrasts with) the Tudor Revival architecture for which Chester is so well known.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Grosvenor Park sits across the road, and the Roman walls and Eastgate Clock are a short walk away.
The rooms
Each bedroom follows one of three local motifs, decorated with monochrome Tudor paneling, clock-face geometry, or equestrian leatherwork.
The Forge Restaurant
Curved leather booths surround an open kitchen where native beef and wild game cook over an oak-fired grill.
How it began
The hotel rose on the site of a former Shell car park in 2019, slotted into the city's historic conservation area.
