For comfort, luxury and convenience, Carden Park Hotel offers everything you need for a memorable trip to one of golf’s greatest events.

Our recently refurbished bedrooms – part of a £6.5 million investment – feature modern interiors, stylish furnishings, and air conditioning. Many also overlook our championship Nicklaus golf course, perfect for guests who want to wake up to an inspiring view.
For those who want to play as well as watch, Carden Park is a golfer’s paradise. We’re home to two championship golf courses, the Cheshire and the Nicklaus, alongside a Toptracer driving range and a team of PGA professionals available for tuition or fun group challenges for a different dynamic.
Away from the fairways, relaxation comes easily. Overnight guests enjoy access to our indoor pool and gym. While the option to experience the award-winning Spa at Carden – complete with thermal suites and a tranquil spa garden – offers the ultimate relaxing escape.

From brasserie-style meals to curated tasting menu dishes at The Vines, our 3 AA Rosette restaurant, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Private dining and event spaces are also available, ideal for hosting fellow guests or clients during the Championship.
