The Queen Railway Hotel opened its doors for receiving guests on 21st April 1860. Costing £29,000 this premier hotel was full of sumptuous furnishings and Cheshire Hunt often used the stable facilities, this area is now the hotel car park.

On the 26th November 1861 a fire broke out in the roof and quickly spread to the upper floors, the cause was never established. No structural damage was incurred and the hotel continued to trade whilst refurbishment took place. Most furnishing's and fittings were rescued from the building and stored in the train station (which is opposite the hotel).

Charles Dickens and Lilly Langtry stayed when they played at the Music Hall. In 1867 a sister hotel, The Queen Commercial (now known as the Town Crier) was opened. During the construction of City Road a tunnel was incorporated to link the two hotels. The tunnels exist to this day, but are no longer in use. The hotel is said to be haunted by many a ghostly spirit, spotted by staff members and guests alike. Most activity is centered around the Albert Lounge with staff reporting sightings and also in the Edward Suite which use to be a Gentleman's Lounge used by the high society guests of the hotel. An area of bedrooms used by the staff in 1858 is also said to be an area of paranormal activity.
