Aberdeen now has a new hotel, The Chester Hotel, aimed firmly at the five star market. Owned by Graham and Gillian Wood, The Chester Hotel, on the site of the former Simpsons Hotel on Aberdeen’s Queen’s Road, marries the original features of the 19th century listed building with contemporary design.
Part of the £5m investment saw the building extended. It now boasts 54 bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, private dining rooms and a gym. A beauty room is due to open later this month while the function suite which will hold upwards of 300 will open this month too.
Aberdeen-based interior designers, Ambiance design styled the guest rooms while Graven Images designed the public areas. Kevin Dalgleish is the new hotel’s executive chef and he presides over the IX restaurant, which seats 90 diners. Its lounge bar serves premium whisky, spirits from around the world, cocktails, Champagne, fine wines and beers. The Chester Hotel will also serve its very own beer, The Chester Brew.
