The Chester Grosvenor hotel

"A hotel has stood on this site for centuries. First it was a Tudor inn, the Golden Talbot, named after the Earls of Shrewsbury, and then in 1784 the Royal Hotel was built. It became a meeting place for local politicians opposed to the powerful Grosvenor family. Ironically the Grosvenors then bought the Royal in 1815 and renamed it The Grosvenor. Finally in 1865 a new hotel, the Chester Grosvenor, was built in a splendid mock-Tudor style of the kind the Victorians enjoyed."

"Located in the centre of the historic City of Chester the 5 star Grosvenor ticks all the boxes for winter weddings. There could be no finer place for your photos than the imposing staircase at the top of which is a 12ft chandelier. Its central location means even in the worst winter weather its accessible with plenty of luxury accommodation for your guests."
