Chester

Abode have opened the latest in their chain of designer hotels in the prestigious HQ Building. Overlooking the racecourse and the River Dee with open views to the Welsh hills beyond. The hotel includes a Michael Caines Restaurant on the fifth floor, a Bar and Grill on the ground floor with alfresco eating in the courtyard of this circular building and a late night lounge bar. Opened in time for the opening of the Chester race season. The hotel has splendid views across Chester Racecourse.

Chester HQ stands on land formerly occupied by the Cheshire police headquarters. It also contains apartments and office space. Controversially a substantial part of the building is to be taken over by Cheshire West and Chester council when it relinquishes the current County Hall, dating from the 1950s, to the University of Chester.

These Photographs of Chester's HQ building were taken of a rainy day but still this building doesn't fail to impress.
