What our guests says about facilities
James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences
Family Buffet Delight
We had a wonderful time at the early buffet sitting! The selection was very nice, especially the seafood section with prawns in a tasty light sauce and a delicious cheese board. The kids loved the ice cream and sorbet bar. It was a lovely experience, made even better by the attentive service. Highly recommend for families!

Very nice Views
Staying on the 15th floor was a dream! The view was enchanting, even on a rainy day. I appreciated the room's comfort and the super hot shower. I slept soundly after enjoying the beautiful sights from my window. Can't wait for my next visit to this stunning room!

Convenient Parking
The parking was right next door, making it super easy to access my car whenever I needed. The convenience of having secure parking available during my stay was essential, especially since we explored so much around the area. Definitely a plus in my book!

I loved the ability to cast my Netflix from my phone to the TV in our room. It made our downtime even more enjoyable! The setup worked smoothly, and it was a nice touch to have these modern amenities available during our stay.
