Options range from the 5-star Chester Grosvenor, with its thermal suite and herb sauna, to the Crowne Plaza's indoor heated pool and hot tub, and the canal-side Mill Hotel & Spa, which offers a leisure club and pool. Rates typically start around £100 per night for mid-range properties and rise above £200 for luxury stays, with spa treatments often charged separately.
