About Hotel Indigo Chester by IHG
- The first consent on this petrol-station plot, back in 2008, was for an Ibis. The scheme later climbed to a four-star Indigo before Castlebridge built it.
- A race on the Roodee, the course the rooms are themed around, was recorded on 9 February 1539.
History
The plot on Grosvenor Park Road, beside St Werburgh's, had been a Shell petrol station and then a small car park. A hotel consent goes back to 2008, first drawn as an Ibis, later as Hotel Indigo. Castlebridge hired Franklin Ellis as architect and interior designer. The 75-room house, with the WOOD restaurant, was completed in 2019 at a stated cost of £7.9 million. IHG announced it as the sixteenth Hotel Indigo in the UK. Three room stories cover the Chester Rows, the 1897 Eastgate Clock, and the Roodee. Simon Wood, winner of MasterChef in 2015, put his name on the restaurant.
The setting
Grosvenor Park Road, beside St Werburgh's Church and Grosvenor Park, a short walk to the city walls, the amphitheatre and the Roodee. The Victorian suburb of Hoole starts beyond the station.
