What is there to eat to and drink at Hotel Indigo Chester?

The ground floor is home to a vintage-style bar and is a meat lover’s paradise with a hearty menu of succulent steaks and venison, all displayed in a fridge that diners can choose from.

It’s not cheap – a steak alone, without any sides, is £30 – so if you’re after a more affordable option there are plenty of restaurants on Chester’s high street, a couple of minutes walk away.

We spent two nights in a lavish King Deluxe Suite with a balcony that has brilliant views across Chester, and a separate dressing area.

Due to its central location, we could hear some light traffic noise but this never disturbed our slumber.
