History & Refurbishment

The Queen At Chester Hotel opened in 1860 as Britain's original railway hotel, built opposite Chester station to serve first-class rail passengers. A £5 million refurbishment added air conditioning and renovated public areas, Queen bedrooms, and the lobby. Charles Dickens, Cecil Rhodes, and Lillie Langtry are among the historic guests who have stayed here.

Rooms & Amenities

All bedrooms have a TV, 24-hour room service, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Select rooms include a mini fridge with two Proseccos, two Peroni beers, and two cokes as part of the room rate. The hotel is pet-friendly with a £50 supplement per stay for dogs.

Dining & Entertainment

The Kings Grill is an award-winning restaurant serving British cuisine focused on grills and steaks. A chic cocktail bar offers live music performances and signature cocktails, while a garden terrace provides outdoor seating. Afternoon tea and a special diet menu are available through room service or the two on-site restaurants.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The hotel sits opposite Chester railway station, a ten-minute walk from Chester city centre, the Roman Amphitheatre, and the Cathedral. A free shuttle service runs to Chester Zoo, one of the UK's most visited wildlife attractions. Chester's historic rows and the Grosvenor Museum are also within walking distance.

Business & Events

Eight flexible conference and meeting rooms accommodate business events, meetings, and weddings. The hotel offers fax/photocopying services and express check-in/check-out for corporate guests. A bulk laundry service and electric vehicle charging station are available on site.

“The building itself holds a certain charm, with original features lending character to the corridors and staircases, making it feel less like a generic stay and more like a discovered space. Its proximity to the station and city centre is genuinely convenient, and the staff's attentiveness, from the welcome to the bar, certainly makes an impression.”
