Description

ABode Chester overlooks the oldest racecourse still in use in England (known locally as the Roodee) and is within easy walking reach of the city’s renowned historical attractions including the ‘Rows’ (a series of 13th century half-timbered galleries that form a ‘Tudor shopping mall’) and its Roman ruins, as well as the city’s extensive shopping district.

A bright reception flooded with natural light leads into the stylish Brasserie Abode Bar with outdoor terrace featuring a glamorous interior and a contemporary vibe. Move up to the fifth floor of the building for some of the best views in the city from Brasserie Abode.

An all-day venue, in the style of a grand European brasserie and bar, Brasserie Abode offers cool leather, polished brass and a contemporary vibe. From bircher muesli, smoothies and pressed juices for breakfast to Eggs Benedict for brunch; lunch and dinner options feature tempting plats du jour including classic Coq au vin or Confit duck alongside Crustacea, oysters and steaks, as well as great value Prix Fixe menu. Generosity and value come as standard; Sunday lunch is overflowing with trimmings, classic dishes feature plentiful sides and every cocktail comes with something to nibble on.

Open till the small hours, craft beers flow, the wine list features wines sourced from the best around the world, offered by the glass as well as the bottle, and mixologists create delicious cocktails, served to guests seated in intimate booths.

The hotel has 85 spacious and modern guestrooms with rich, warm tones, occasionally complemented by bold splashes of colour, alongside the clean lines of black Welsh slate bathrooms. Many of the guestrooms enjoy the hotel’s sought after views – aspects over the city, the racecourse, Chester Castle and the countryside beyond – and the three Fabulous Suites on the sixth floor at the top of the building, named appropriately after well-known race horses, each benefit from a private balcony from which to enjoy these views.

Incorporating ABode Hotel’s trademark Comfortable, Desirable, Enviable and Fabulous room categories, each guestroom offers a distinct style with quality and comfort at their core and a luxurious Vi-Spring bed and contemporary ensuite bathroom as standard.
