The award-winning hotel is set in 1,000 acres of country and has an adults-only spa and two championship golf courses.
The site has 197 rooms, including 18 suites, but it is set to have even more.
Carden Park Hotel has received planning permission from the local council to build 67 luxury holiday lodges.
The hotel filed plans back in October 2023, and Carden Park described the lodges as being 'a complementary and suitable addition to the wider hotel complex'.
The Cheshire hotel on Broxton Road will operate the lodges on an 'owner-occupied basis', rather than renting them out to holidaymakers.
Carden Park is very popular with visitors which is proven by its Tripadvisor rating which is 4.3 out of 5, with almost 8,000 reviews.
One wrote: "Wow! This place is one of the best hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at."
Another added: "The spa complex with outdoor garden was superb, it felt like we were on holiday abroad."
The hotel is popular during the summer because of all the activities, like golf on the sprawling courses.
There's also a huge climbing wall, zip line, high-wire courses and a 10-metre freefall jump.

Guests can even take a Segway safari tour around the Carden Park estate and woodland.
There's also a panoramic sauna, outdoor pool, outdoor hot tubs, and a range of treatments.
Other draws include a champagne garden bar, a beauty bar, and relaxation rooms.
As for where to stay the 197 rooms have either king or twin beds and offer views over the estate.
Guests who opt to stay overnight will have access to the Hotel Leisure Club included in their stay too - which is the gym, pool and reduction on spa treatments.
It isn't just holidaymakers who flock to the hotel either, celebrities have also been known to visit too.
Molly-Mae Hague and broadcaster Louise Minchin have been spotted there in recent years. And the hotel was used as the eviction hotel for the 2020 I'm A Celebrity stars.
The hotel is over an hour's drive from Gwrych castle, making it the perfect location for the celebs.

Tesco launches new ice coffees by iconic chocolate brand for only £3.50 just in time for the summer
TESCO has launched a brand new ice coffee from an iconic chocolate brand in time for the summer months. The new Galaxy Frappes have hit stores now, and are available in caramel and mocha flavours. 2 These chocolatey treats are available exclusively at Tesco. A spokesperson said: "It's everything you love about frappes - now ready to make your way. "Feeling indulgent? Then, perhaps add whipped cream, your favourite syrup or maybe even top with strawberries. "It's the easiest way to enjoy a deliciously cool frappe at home or make to-go." How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. All you need to do is add ice and choice of milk to the mix to make the treat. It can be bought from Tesco, with an RRP of £3.50. The Galaxy Frappes are not the only chocolate treat to have hit Tesco's shelves in recent weeks. Shoppers have gone wild for a layered with a crispy cereal shell. They are described as a "deliciously light yet indulgent snack". It was posted to the popular New F when a keen-eyed shopper spotted in in stores. "We will have to be on the lookout for these they look good," another posted.

From celeb mouthwash to classic salt toothpaste – my smile-saving heroes for National Smile Month
WHY do we have so many awareness days, weeks and months? Some of them seem utterly ridiculous. The health related ones, though, are a good idea. It is National Smile Month. One in three adults have tooth decay, so this campaign promotes eating less sugar and processed food, drinking more water and visiting the dentist. And I've put some products to the test to help you smile . . . MOUTHWASH 3 IF ever there was a man who says 'teeth' it is TV presenter Rylan Clark – his are gleaming! And he has teamed up with British oral care brand Waken. I am not always keen on products pushed by celebs, but Rylan believes in Waken and has invested in it. I like it too. I love their whitening toothpaste and the Waken Advanced Care Mouthwash. It is made with natural peppermint, strengthens enamel with fluoride, and comes in a recycled bottle. This is alcohol free and a 500ml bottle costs £5. The company has just started selling in major supermarkets. See CHEWING GUM I CHEW so much gum I could put a cow to shame – but not all gums are good for you thanks to the sweeteners, sugar and chemicals in them. But some do have health benefits. Peppersmith is one such example. It contains the plant-based sweetener xylitol and is approved by the Oral Health Foundation. Chewing sugar-free gum with xylitol after meals, is scientifically proven to reduce cavities, neutralise harmful acids, and keep breath fresh. Xylitol is a natural sugar alternative that bacteria cannot digest, meaning it actively fights tooth decay. Dentist explains risks of 'Turkey teeth' and other dentistry abroad It also helps to strengthen enamel – unlike sugary mints and gum that mask bad breath and contribute to cavities. The gum comes in mint, lemon and strawberry flavours. I wasn't keen on the fruity ones – but the mint is great and is £1.35 for 15g at Sainsbury's. See TOOTHPASTE SALT toothpaste made by Weleda has been around for more than 100 years, but has soared into the brand's list of bestsellers in the last two years. That's because it is a chemical-free, eco-friendly toothpaste popular with those looking to avoid additives – there are no detergents, bleaches, foam boosters or optical brighteners in the product. No fluoride either – some people are worried that too much can lead to dental fluorosis or skeletal fluorosis, which can damage bones and joints. While rare, fluorosis is a factor. This toothpaste uses sodium bicarbonate, which is a salt that breaks down to form sodium and bicarbonate in water. This helps to promote healing in the mouth, and to ease ulcers, cuts and sore patches. It is totally free from microplastics too. It tastes like bicarbonate of soda but my mouth felt really fresh after using. I liked it. It's priced at £5.95 for 75ml. See
