About
Cheshire is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most beautiful counties, and the glorious Macdonald Portal Hotel is a jewel in its crown. A luxurious retreat set amid some beautiful countryside, this is a go-to destination for anyone seeking high end opulence. As soon as you arrive here, you will start on the gentle, pleasant path to complete and utter bliss.
There’s plenty to see and do in the local area, but checking out the Roman heritage of Chester surely has to be close to the top of the agenda. Family days out at the excellent Chester Zoo are always enjoyable, while the spectacular Chester Cathedral is also worthy of a visit. And of course, you can shop till you drop in the city centre, where you’ll also find museums and art galleries.
Overnight stays at the superb Portal Hotel will soothe the soul. There are 85 sumptuous bedrooms here, as well as a spa offering eight wonderfully tranquil treatment rooms. You’ll also find three excellent golf courses and two eateries that combine elegant surroundings and mouth-watering food.
Please note: This Hotel operates a cashless system.

Upgraded room Lovely pool, good breakfast. Room a bit jaded but beds comfy. Afternoon tea OK and scones very good wouldn't like to have paid full price as had a lot better. Wanted a cocktail but no one ever on the bar who could make one. Lovely views and pleasant staff. Very good massage.

Lovely hotel. Very busy with golf groups which sadly meant the breakfast the next day was so poor as there was no food left at all so that was a shame. The spa was lovely as were the treatments and the dinner in the evening was excellent, great gym and pool area and rooms were quiet and spacious so all in all it was lovely other than the breakfast.

Great venue in stunning location. Lovely pool and sauna etc. Unfortunately there was a very noisy refurbishment happening so not relaxing. Great treatment from Lynn, lovely spacious comfortable room and excellent dinner and breakfast. Kiran our waiter at dinner was excellent. Lovely experience and would return.
