Historic Georgian Building
The Townhouse Chester is a Georgian period house built in 1699, with a modern annexe at the rear. The hotel features views of Tudor and Victorian architecture, including its own Georgian townhouse details. Rooms on the upper floors incorporate historic elements like original beams.
Room Options & Amenities
Accommodations include classic rooms, family rooms sleeping up to four, and superior rooms with sofa beds and espresso machines. All rooms have 34-inch smart TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and ensuite showers with wall-mounted toiletries. Superior rooms add more space and sofa beds for extra guests.
All-Day Bar & Breakfast
The hotel has an all-day bar serving coffee and drinks, but no hot food is available. Breakfast is a continental-style buffet with cereals, pastries, and cured meats, charged extra from £5 per person. The adjoining open-plan area serves as the breakfast space.
Central Chester Location
The hotel is a short walk from Chester's Roman walls, the historic Rows shopping galleries, and the River Dee. Chester Train Station is a 20-minute walk, with connections to Manchester, London, and North Wales. Nearby attractions include Chester Cathedral, the Roman amphitheater, and Chester Zoo (a 10-minute drive).
Family & Pet Policies
Children under 2 stay free, but cots incur an extra charge. Assistance dogs are welcome in lounge, terrace, and garden areas. The hotel has a set evacuation procedure with a continuous siren alarm, and staff undergo regular safety training.
“In my opinion, what stands out here is the location paired with exceptional staff attentiveness. The Georgian architecture houses comfortable family-friendly accommodations close to Chester's attractions, and the team goes the extra mile to care for guests. I believe this hotel is a solid choice for those seeking a historic base with modern comforts.”
