Flat Cap Hotels officially launch their second property, The Courthouse Hotel in Knutsford, Cheshire on 1st July 2017. 

Barristers Restaurant & Bar is now open. The first ten bedrooms at The Courthouse Hotel will open later this year, with the additional 40 bedrooms opening in 2018.

Later this July The Courthouse Hotel will open its new Rooftop Gardens with a cocktail bar sharing space with the chef’s botanical herb garden. The Rooftop Gardens have capacity for 100 guests.

Background: Back in 2010, the Ministry of Justice closed the former Sessions House in Knutsford and left the historic Grade II-listed Georgian building empty. Over the last 18 months Flat Cap Hotels have been converting the Sessions House into a luxury conference and banqueting venue which can accommodate up to 400 guests for a reception in the main Court Room.

In addition the Moneypenny Suite will accommodate up to 100 guests for exhibitions, private dinners and events.  Six other flexible meeting rooms will accommodate from ten to 100 people.

The Courthouse Hotel is located opposite Knutsford station with a regular rail service into central Manchester. It is two miles from junction 19 of the M6 motorway and 20 minutes from Manchester International Airport.
