If you have a passion for horse racing, nothing beats a race day at the Roodee, better known as Chester Racecourse.
While only one mile and a furlong in length, the historic location is internationally famous for holding the Guinness World Record for being the oldest active racecourse in the word. If youā€™re visiting the racecourse for one of its renowned races, whether itā€™s the Chester Cup, the Cheshire Oaks, or the Chester Vase, finding the perfect accommodation is important.
While Chester is home to an abundance of first-class hotels from the Leonardo to the Chester Grosvenor, where location is concerned, one option is clearly a front runner. Based right on the racecourse itself, the Holiday Inn Express Chester canā€™t be beat when it comes to watching races.
With 97 rooms available to guests, the hotel also has its own bar and breakfast service. As a result, those staying there can enjoy drinks while keeping track of results on the barā€™s widescreen television or start the race day in the perfect way with a classic English breakfast of scrambled eggs, beans and sausages, or select a continental option to suit their taste. Situated on the racecourse, thereā€™s no chance youā€™ll miss the starters orders looking for a place to park.
At the end of the races, when hopefully youā€™re ready to celebrate, guests of the Chester hotel enjoy discounted dining at the Roodeeā€™s restaurants.
The Holiday Inn Express Chester is located at Chester Racecourse on New Crane Street.
