IHG® (InterContinental Hotels Group) has announced the opening of its sixteenth Hotel Indigo® in the UK, in the heart of the notable city of Chester. Within walking distance to one of the oldest racecourses in Britain and numerous historical attractions, Hotel Indigo® Chester is the perfect choice for a weekend getaway.

Only a short drive from some the UK's most vibrant cities, Manchester and Liverpool, Chester has become a popular destination for guests to enjoy a short break. Steeped in history, the city is home to sites that hold great historical significance, including the best surviving Roman Fortress Wall in Northern Europe, Britain's largest Roman Amphitheatre, the oldest racecourse in Britain and a one-thousand-year-old cathedral with some of Europe's finest examples of medieval carvings.

Featuring 75 rooms, the much-awaited boutique Hotel Indigo Chester, combines elements from the city's local character and charm, with vibrant colours and textures to give the hotel a residential look and feel. Just as no two places are alike, no two Hotel Indigo® properties are the same. The hotel's design reflects the surrounding neighbourhood by drawing inspiration from three key elements of the city - the material layers of its architecture, the iconic 1897 Eastgate Clock and the world-famous Chester Racecourse.
