The Hand Hotel

About

Nestled in the picturesque town of Chirk, The Hand Hotel is a beautifully restored Grade II-listed building that dates back to 1610, once serving as a bustling coaching house on the historic A5. With its long‑standing heritage and a touch of Regency elegance, the hotel offers guests a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort. Each room is fully en‑suite, boasting modern amenities such as flat‑screen TV, radio, tea and coffee facilities, hair dryers and a direct‑dial phone, while still retaining that coveted old‑world character. The property prides itself on exceptional food and service. Its roadhouse‑style Regency restaurant presents a la carte menus alongside a daily specials table d’hôte, and the three fully licensed bars—including the intimate Castle Room—offer a relaxed ambience for cocktails, lunch, or a late‑night drink. A spacious, £500,000 function suite at the rear of the hotel can accommodate 20 to 250 guests, complete with a stage, sound and lighting system, making it an ideal venue for weddings, conferences and celebrations. Situated just moments from Chirk Castle, the Aqueduct and the village’s historic streets, The Hand Hotel provides convenient access to local attractions while its welcoming lobby and lounge offer a cosy respite after a day of exploration. Guests can enjoy free parking, a cloakroom, and even a self‑contained bar for larger events. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a food lover, or simply seeking a comfortable base to discover the heart of North‑East Wales, The Hand Hotel delivers a memorable stay steeped in both tradition and modern hospitality.
