DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Chester

Arrive frazzled, leave totally transformed thanks to all the fitness-fostering activities on offer at the DoubleTree by Hilton Chester. Spacious and air-conditioned, the Club and Spa boasts one of the city’s finest gyms, crammed with all the latest gadgets to motivate, monitor and manage your workouts. With innovative TechnoGym kit, all its cardio equipment comes with integrated flat-screen TVs and a choice of channels to make you forget how hard you’re working.

Like to mix things up? In addition to the gym, the club also offers a variety of fitness classes, including HIIT, BodyPump and Spin. With high-tech sprung flooring, mood lighting, temperature control and powerful music systems, you’ll be able to challenge yourself in ways you’ve never tried before.

So whether you're looking to lose weight, build muscle, or simply improve your overall fitness, the DoubleTree by Hilton Chester has the facilities and expertise to get you there. And after a tough workout, why not relax and unwind at the outdoor hydrotherapy pool in the sumptuous spa?

Whether you fancy a post-massage G&T or a delectable dinner, the hotel’s restaurant, the Garden Room and Terrace, makes an informal place to relax, wine and dine. Those floor-to-ceiling windows don’t just flood the room with natural light, they offer a gorgeous view over the original walled lavender gardens - you can even take your drink outside on hazy summer days.

Serving up a modern British menu using the freshest, seasonal produce, dishes change regularly to reflect the seasons. With creations taken from land, sea and garden, the hotel sources only the very best ingredients to prepare each dish. 

Enjoy a drink from the extensive gin menu, with a selection of botanicals from the finest English distilleries, as well as some carefully chosen examples from around the world. Not a gin lover? Equally impressive is the restaurant’s whisky collection which showcases fine malts steeped in tradition and crafted with passion. 

Yes, and it’s so long it dominates the base level of the three-storey club and spa. At 18m, the indoor pool is long enough for some invigorating laps. But the stylish decoration and underwater lighting and music makes it a relaxing experience that’s not to be missed. 

Complete your swim with a soak in the indoor spa pool. Then when you’re ready, slip through the archway to the outdoor thermal pool, with its steamy mineral water and mesmerising waterfall.

It does, so get ready to check in and chill out. From guest rooms to suites, all 219 rooms feature super comfy beds and luxurious toiletries. Enjoy complimentary WiFi or watch a movie on the flat-screen TV. Additional amenities include tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge.

Seeking the ultimate indulgence? You may want to upgrade to the Presidential Suite. With all the feel of a small boutique apartment, it has a luxurious lounge and dining area along with an amazing wet room with twin shower-heads and heated seating.

You can check-in anytime after 3pm, while check-out time is 12pm.

Yes it is. Facilities include wide corridors, a disabled changing area, hoists into both the pool and hydrotherapy pool, adjustable treatment beds and accessible bedrooms.

If you can tear yourself away from the hotel, you’ll find the historic town of Chester just a short bus or cab ride away. With history, retail therapy and foodie treats in abundance, this incredibly popular city break location really has something for everyone. Chester has the most complete city walls, the oldest racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain! And, with the one and only 700-year old two-tiered Rows galleries, shopping is doubly delightful.

There’s no formal dress code as such, but at the Garden Room and Terrace restaurant, guests do generally wear smart-casual clothing.

Although the blissful spa is only available for those over 16, the hotel itself is family-friendly. Children up to 18 can stay for free when sharing a room with a paying adult on a room only rate. Children aged five years and under can enjoy a complimentary breakfast from the buffet, too.

Better unpack their little doggy suitcase - no dogs allowed.

No, there’s no golf course at the hotel. But if you can’t live without your clubs, swing by Vicars Cross golf club. Friendly and inclusive, and with a great driving range if you just fancy a practice, it’s just a seven-minute drive away.
