Chester: The Queen hotel reveals results of major refurb

The Queen at Chester has completed a major works to improve its 104 bedrooms and public spaces including meeting rooms and brand-new central bar.

Guests will find a sleek and homely new look at the magnificent brick and stucco Italianate building, said to be the first skyscraper of its time.

The new design honours the heritage and history of the building, which has counted Charles Dickens, Cecil Rhodes and Lillie Langtry among its guests since opening in 1860. With classic patterned wooden floors, panelled walls and plush fabrics, the hotel adds a modern finish and amenities including air conditioning.

Bob Fairweather, General Manager for the Queen at Chester, said: “I’m incredibly proud to showcase the first look at our major refurbishment project. We’ve worked hard to restore the Queen to her former beauty, taking every measure to upgrade each aspect with respect to the historic and unique building. We look forward to welcoming new and longstanding guests and locals alike to enjoy the new look and bar facilities.”
