Fairmont Cheshire, The Mere: A New Luxury Destination Near Liverpool

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts will unveil its fourth UK property, Fairmont Cheshire, The Mere, with a grand opening slated for July 10. This new luxury resort, situated on 157 acres overlooking The Mere Lake, is approximately an hour's drive from Liverpool.

The property has undergone a significant multi-million-pound renovation to introduce 116 guest rooms, 23 suites, and a comprehensive array of amenities. Guests can anticipate a diverse culinary landscape, including a restaurant helmed by Gordon Ramsay, afternoon tea at The Orangery, and a Club Lounge offering both classic British and Indian fare.

Beyond dining, the resort features an 18-hole championship golf course and the Fairmont Spa, complete with a Spa Bar. The grand ballroom spans 1,000 square meters, designed to host events for up to 1,000 guests, from weddings to conferences.

Our take: Fairmont’s expansion with The Mere signals a confident move into the UK's regional luxury market, outside the traditional London hub. The combination of a world-renowned culinary figure like Gordon Ramsay and a comprehensive wellness offering, all set within a sprawling estate, positions this property as a strong contender for both leisure and MICE segments. We'll be watching to see how the brand integrates its global service standards with the local charm of Cheshire.
