A Chester Racecourse weekend break has its own rhythm: arrival, anticipation, a day at the races, dinner, and time to enjoy the city beyond the event itself. ABode Chester is well placed for guests who want the racecourse close by while still being able to enjoy Chester’s historic streets, shops, restaurants and riverside walks.
The hotel suits guests coming for the Chester Races, as well as those turning a race day into a short city break. Couples, friends, leisure visitors and regional travellers can stay close to the racecourse while keeping Chester’s wider appeal within easy reach.
Day one
Arrive in Chester, check in and take time to settle before dinner, drinks or a walk around the city walls. Guests arriving ahead of race day can keep the evening relaxed.
Race day
Enjoy breakfast, walk to the racecourse, then return to the hotel afterwards for a slower evening in the city.
For longer stays
Add Chester Cathedral, the Rows, the river, Chester Zoo, Cheshire Oaks, North Wales or Liverpool as part of a wider itinerary.
