Let me make one thing clear - i have never paid to stay at the Chester Grosvenor myself - but have stayed here for business for at least 6 weeks per year for the past 5 years.
Value for money it isnt but if you are not paying then enjoy the ride!
The hotel is centrally located in the middle of Chester - if you are driving to the hotel then you have to navigate a slightly confusing one way system but having won that challenge you park in the NCP carpark (free for hotel residents).
You enter the hotel and are treated like a film star!
The staff cannot do enough for you - reception, down on the ground floor is always manned - the doorman wears a top hat but he always smiles and says hello. Reception staff are friendly and welcoming - they are always happy to recommend restaurants or activities to do in Chester.
The hotel decor is old fashioned - like an English country house but it has recently been done. The bedrooms have a modern twist - comfortable super king sized beds, attractive sofas and a well fitted out bathroom. You get a large TV, a desk to work at too so nothing is missing. The bathroom is amazing too - a large bath. Whilst I am up there for work - my husband will often join me for a Sunday night if I have to be there early - we certainly make sure we are checked into the hotel at 12.00 and make the most of the fantastic facilities.
Tea and coffee making facilities are not in the room but if you call reception they will bring you a kettle, cups, fresh milk and a huge selection of teas / coffees / hot chocolates. Much better than buying from room service. They will also bring you an iron and ironing board - again cheaper than the laundry service (well free).
The hotel has an amazing spa and gym / pool. Treatments are discounted for hotel guests and no more expensive than in other salons. The gym is small but well equipped!
Room service is available - I love the fact that you could request a cheese and pickle sandwich and chocolate icecream ( for when you have worked really late) and the staff will bring it without being snooty or condescending. The chips are amazing too - just remember to ask for ketchup!
Breakfast is best ordered in your room - for some reason the cafe service downstairs is not too good. Breakfast is pricey but if your work is paying then who cares? The £22 continental breakfast includes fruit, yoghurt, cereal, tea / coffee / hot chocolate, juice, toast, croissant / brioche etc. Plus about 5 portions of jam / honey - wrap up some of the bread and save your self money for lunch!
The rooms are always spotless and the bathroom supplies are Molton Brown (one of my favourites!)
Overall this hotel is not cheap - but for a romantic getaway where you are treated like royalty, or for a luxurious place to stay on business you can't do better.
Forgot to mention the hotel brassirie and restaurant - both are renowned as excellent. The only problem would be that the restaurant specialises in game - so not great for vegetarian me!
Overall definitely worth blowing the budget for a treat!

Quick review of The Chester Grosvenor, Chester
A five star hotel should offer good all round service from when you walk in the door as thats what you pay for , but not in my experience of the place!
The reception staff where snooty ( wake up to yourselves, its a tiny hotel in the north west ) we went for a walk returning at 4 pm to find the room not even been cleaned , and when it eventually was they didnt even replenish the naff shower stuff you get in the bathroom.
The most sickenening thing of all was the price of the breakfast...wait for it.. £20 for bacon and eggs.
The ultimate rip off by any standards. One expects a hell of a lot more in a 5 star establishment but not here or in most english hotels. Take a leaf out of american hotels and their customer care, a word of advice...save your money and stay in a travel inn !!!! ...

We arrived at the restaurant just before 7pm and we were greeted at the door where we handed over our coats in exchange for a tag for us to collect the coats at the end of the evening.
We were ushered to our table which was decorated fantastically. Each table had the same layout which was a single red rose laid across the centre of the table, a pink or red menu dependent upon the table you sat , with a satin ribbon in the opposite colour, heart shaped confetti was scattered over the table and waiting was 2 glasses of champagne, fantastic.
As we sat down to enjoy the start of our evening we ...

THE TOWN CRIER'S DAILY SPEECH
This takes place at 12 noon every day at the Chester Cross in the middle of the town. It may be a good idea to stop and have a listen before doing your sightseeing as, quite often, the Town Crier will shout out (and he is loud!) any events happening in the town on that day. If you want a good view though, I would advise you to get there early as the Cross gets busy at this time.
CHESTERGROSVENOR MUSEUM

Situated in Grosvenor Street, the museum is a must for first time visitors of Chester. Do not be deceived by the size of the museum from the front. It looks nothing out of the ordinary at first glance, but once you get into the building, the displays of artefacts seem never ending. The museum comprises two ...
