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 -
Perhaps of most historic importance, however, is the hotel’s connection to Cecil Rhodes -

Chester is, without doubt, one of England’s most beautiful cities. As such, we are keen to further expand our selection of historic hotels in Cheshire and would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions. We mainly seek those places associated with historical figures (kings, queens, writers, etc) and events, but also aim to provide the traveller with a guide to avoiding modern and contemporary hotels and instead help them find more characterful and romantic accommodation - country inns and pubs, boutique hotels, country houses and more.
