Oddfellows, Chester

Housed in a magnificent landmark building in the ancient city’s Lower Bridge Street, Oddfellows defies categorisation. But since coming under the management wing of the Chester Grosvenor Hotel, eccentric glamour and quirkiness and top quality go hand in hand.

Built in 1816 in the elegant French chateau style and set in 38 acres of rolling Cheshire countryside, Rookery Hall has long been one of the county’s most iconic beacons of hospitality. With four AA red stars for the standard of its 70 bedrooms, two AA Rosettes for the food served in its atmospheric wood panelled restaurant and recent winner of the Residential Spa of the Year accolade, the hotel is not only one of the most romantic of wedding venues, but also an extremely well-connected business hub.
