Things to do in Backford Cross, Cheshire

The Hotel Indigo® Chester is conveniently located in the centre of the historic City of Chester with excellent transport links, including a direct train to London in under two hours, and is in easy reach of both Manchester and Liverpool airports and just off the M53 motorway. A contemporary boutique hotel, constructed in 2019, designed to reflect the city's famous architecture, and the oldest racecourse in the UK, all 75 stunning guest rooms feature Hypnos beds and stylish bathrooms with rainfall showers and bespoke toiletries. When it comes to food and drink, we are lucky to share the building with The Forge Chester. The Forge is a culinary establishment that prides itself on offering incredible dry-aged beef and wild venison. These exquisite meats can be found in their maturation cabinets, patiently waiting for their turn on the remarkable Forge grill. Their main focus lies in utilizing British ingredients, with a special emphasis on sourcing ingredients as close to the Chester area as possible. They aim to provide amazing service, ensuring that each visit is truly memorable. The hotel is just a short walk from Chester's famous Rows and extensive shopping district, not to mention the award-winning Storyhouse theatre, and the 2000-year-old city walls. We believe you don't need to be staying at the hotel to visit the restaurant for breakfast but ring ahead to check. 2 under 16s can enjoy a free breakfast for every paying adult.
