Historic and Period Hotels in Cheshire: Chester, Tarporley, Frodsham

The Queen Hotel. Chester.

Situated in one of England’s finest and most historically significant cities, when the Queen Hotel opened on the 21st of April 1860 it was said to be “built in the Italian style upon a beautiful piece of ground with sumptuous furnishings, a beautiful garden and offering the quietest and most spacious first class Hotel in Chester”.

Since then it has welcomed many prominent figures, including Lilly Langtry and Charles Dickens - the latter using the hotel as lodgings while appearing at a nearby theatre.

Perhaps of most historic importance, however, is the hotel’s connection to Cecil Rhodes - many believe it was within the gardens that he considered his plans for Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Superbreak | TripAdvisor | Expedia | LateRooms | Hotel’s Site
