No matter whether you are sightseeing from abroad, visiting with your school or work, on your honeymoon or visiting family, you will find the perfect room in a Chester hotel.
The Range of Hotels We Offer in Chester
Chester hotels can get very busy: the races are a big draw, pulling racegoers, jockeys, trainers and bookies from all over the country when the racing weekends are on. They can book up all the rooms – but if you are travelling outside of these times, you will have a good choice of Chester hotels. There are hotels to suit students travelling on a wing and a prayer, and to suit high-end celebrities who want to treat themselves to a luxurious getaway. From three-star comfort to five star hedonism, you are sure to find a hotel to suit you!
Chester: What Should We Bring for a Hotel Stay
If you are visiting for the races, bring a formal outfit – or two, some of the restaurants and hotels have dress codes and you will want to look your best. For sightseeing along the canal and by the river, or walking around the ancient Roman walls, you will want to dress comfortably, with good walking shoes and a backpack to leave your hands free as you tackle the stairs up and down the walls. Bring a camera to commemorate the occasion, especially posing under the world famous Eastgate Clock (second only to Big Ben when it comes to famous UK clocks!) and make sure you leave some room in your bag for the souvenirs you will want to take home!
Your Best Hotel in Chester: How to Get There and How to Book
Choose your hotel according to your needs: opt for a city centre one if you need to have Chester at your feet, or for a countryside retreat if you would prefer parking to be readily available. There are many hotels in Chester, so you will be almost guaranteed to find a hotel that meets your needs and your budget.
How to Get There
Chester is in the northwest of England, more or less midway between Liverpool and Manchester and well served by trains which come in to nearby Crewe from all over the country. Trains from Crewe are in Chester within ten minutes or so, and they run very frequently. Buses too come into Chester from many locations, including daily coaches from London. Road access is good, although parking within the city itself can be tricky because the size of the city is constrained by its unique walls. Chester is about a three hour drive from London, and is well served by motorways. For something a bit different, you can even reach the city by canal boat, using the wide network of barges and canals that spread across the region.

The Opinion of the Voyage Prive Expert on Chester
Chester is a stunningly beautiful city, one of the best places in the UK to both live and visit. It is a university town and attracts many tourists and foreign students so there is a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere that works with rather than against the quintessential Englishness of the people and the architecture. Tudor buildings abound, Roman ruins are everywhere in the city and history breathes from the unique Rows, ancient shops that have been continuously occupied for almost two thousand years. If Chester is not on your list of places to visit: it should be!
