For a pre-spa coffee or a post-spa g and t, the Bar & Lounge is the place to go. Enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, shaken and stirred by talented bartenders and say cheers to memorable moments with great company!

The Brasserie

Whether it’s lunch with the girls before your spa treatments, or an intimate dinner for you and someone special, this relaxed restaurant offers the perfect ambience. Enjoy hearty pies, lighter salads and fish dishes overlooking stunning views of the city walls.

Woodland dining pods

Take it outside, for private dining with a difference! These enchanting woodland pods set in the hotel grounds look fabulous at any time of year. Enjoy an exclusive menu, with dishes such as seabass with French style peas and sauteed potato, and for dessert, frozen caramel souffle.

Yes it does. Blissfully warm, the indoor pool is 12m in length and has an attractive, kidney shape. Go for a dip, then relax in the poolside Jacuzzi. There’s also a sauna and steam room, plus poolside loungers where you can curl up and read a book. 

It does. The hotel’s 126 rooms have recently been refurbished, so get ready to check-in and chill-out in style. Decorated in stylish neutral shades with the odd pop of zesty colour, all rooms have HD TV and complimentary high-speed WiFi. Many have courtyard views to wake up to and all come with cute, eco-friendly vanity kits.

Choose from cosy Compact rooms, comfortable Classic rooms or upgrade to a Privilege or Suite for more luxurious touches, like Nespresso machines, fluffy robes and slippers.

You can check-in anytime after 3pm, while check-out time is 11am.

The hotel has one fully accessible bedroom and, while there’s no pool hoist, there are steps and a handrail into the pool.

If you can tear yourself away from the hotel, you’ll find the historic town of Chester two miles away. Even better, the park-and-ride shuttle bus to take you into town is just steps away from the hotel’s front door.

With history, culture and fabulous shopping, Chester’s a popular city break location with something for everyone. Marvel at the UK’s most complete city walls, see its oldest racecourse and visit its largest Roman Amphitheatre.

Prefer to avoid the ankle-biters? You can enjoy a spot of grown-up swimming from Mondays to Thursday at 7.30pm to 8.30pm. Other than that, the pool is quietest from Monday to Friday at 8.30am to 10am and from 1pm to 3pm.

Yes, the Mercure Chester Abbots Well Hotel is very family-friendly. Little VIPs get fun welcome packs and a personalised check-in whenever they’re staying overnight. Classic Family Rooms can sleep up to four, and they’re welcome to use the pool - although you have to be 16 and over to use the poolside Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

Better pack their little doggy suitcase! Mercure Chester Abbots Well is a dog-friendly hotel! Good boys and girls can stay for £15 per night, at a maximum of one pet per room. They’re not allowed in the restaurant and you have to let the hotel know in advance that you plan on bringing your pet.

No, there’s no golf course on-site. 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 two miles away from the hotel.
