Property details

Escape to a modern and bright hotel in the charming city of Chester - includes breakfast, and a bottle of prosecco on arrival
  • Modern living: In a historic Roman fortress city lies the Leonardo Hotel Chester, an altogether modern centre of comfort, practicality and luxurious living. The rooms are bright and airy with funky wallpapers and furniture, an array of modern art, and enormous beds for a night of uninterrupted peace. The location in the city centre is perfect for urban explorers, history buffs, and mini-breakers alike.

  • Cracking cuisine: The Bar and Grill at Leonardo's is a buzzy hub that sets you up for the day, and helps you unwind at the end of it. It feels simultaneously industrial and cosy, with exposed brick work and copper piping, but also comfy sofas and warm lighting. Breakfast options are as plentiful as you could hope for, with fresh coffee and juice on hand, and come evening, you can enjoy a hearty meal with a glass of wine or bespoke cocktail.

  • Historic Chester: With its half-timbered Tudor buildings, Chester certainly has a quaint feeling about it. That said, there's still an awful lot to keep you busy. You can take a walk around the most complete Roman city wall in the country, indulge yourself with the many shops on The Row, or enjoy an evening at Opera Grill, a 400-seater, grade-II listed, neoclassical restaurant with live music. There's something for everyone to enjoy in this great city.

Location and what's nearby

Leonardo Hotel Chester, Pepper Street, Chester, CH1 1DW

A former Roman outpost city, it's no wonder Chester is steeped in history. There's a great selection of historical tours you can take to see the city and learn more about how it became what it is today, including bus tours, boat tours and walking tours, led by your own Roman Centurion.

Unique to Chester are The Rows: continuous half-timbered galleries reached by steps, which form a second row of shops above those at street level along Watergate, Northgate, Eastgate and Bridge Streets. Many of the original structures date back to the 13th century, while some are from the Victorian era. Besides the unusual architectural set up, there are also a great selection of shops, many independent, that make for a very satisfying shopping trip.
