Under new management since December 2009 and built in 1610 during the reign of James I, we are one of the oldest hotels in north-east Wales. It has been tastefully modernised without losing its historical character.

The Hand Hotel was built in the reign of James I, it is situated in the historic border town of Chirk, less than 2 minutes drive off the A5. The Hand Hotel has been renowned for its warmth and hospitality of over 300 years.
