Overview

A super new 5 day break taking in the popular Welsh resort of Llandudno, along with the vibrant and buzzing city of Liverpool and historic Chester, where each chapter of its rich history is etched into the very fabric of the city. Chester has the most complete city walls, the oldest racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1000 year old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings - and of course the 700 year old ‘Rows’ galleries where shopping is a double delight.

When you're not relaxing in your room, enjoy a drink in one of the exquisite Victorian lounges or take arty photos on our sweeping four-storey staircase. Of course, the hotel is served by a lift.
