About DoubleTree Chester
Hoole Hall was built around 1760 for the Reverend John Baldwin and later extended for the Hamilton family. Historic England lists it at Grade II, noting its plum-coloured brick with stone dressings, a symmetrical five-bay front with a pediment and Tuscan porch, and an oak staircase beneath Georgian plasterwork. Later residents included the engineer Arthur Potts, who grew orchids and alpine plants here for more than half a century, and in the twentieth century the Army's Western Command used the hall for its Pay Corps.
After a £27.5 million refurbishment, it reopened in 2009 as the fourth DoubleTree by Hilton in the UK, and Valor Hospitality Europe has run it since 2015. A 79-bedroom extension took it to 219 bedrooms. Today the hotel has the Garden Room restaurant, overlooking the walled gardens, and a three-floor club and spa with indoor and outdoor pools.
Blue velvet and soft neutrals in the foyer
The foyer is the first room every guest walks through, and it needed a centrepiece. Ours is a high-backed banquette in a deep blue velvet, deep-buttoned all over with studded edges and built in four sections that sit back to back, so it works as an island in the middle of the room rather than a seat against a wall.
Around it the palette is calmer: curved, button-backed chairs in oatmeal and camel, sofas in a dark velvet and a grey weave with blush cushions, and bottle-green velvet armchairs, on a pale floor and a blue patterned rug that picks up the colour of the banquette. The mix gives guests a choice of where to sit, whether for coffee, a meeting or a wait for a taxi.
