“We picked this for the location and we’re so happy with the choice. A gorgeous building! Recently renovated and so well done. Everything was so clean and comfortable. The food was delicious. Had dinner and breakfast and it was very good. The staff there are amazing. They are very friendly and make you feel welcome. They are very knowledgeable about the area and have great information about local sites. Lots of little touches that made it special. Personable service, welcome chocolates, in room coffee and tea, very comfortable bed, spacious shower with good water pressure, and soft towels. It was a 5 star hotel with 5 star service. Would definitely stay again.”

There are stories in the details.

From aviation-inspired pieces that nod to Leicester’s connection with pioneering flight, to original architectural sketches and carefully preserved design references — look a little closer around The Grand and you’ll find traces of the building’s past woven throughout.

Because some hotels are simply somewhere to stay. Others have a story to tell.

A little piece of Leicester history, waiting to be discovered at The Grand Hotel Leicester.

Consider this your sign to stay in bed a little longer. 💭

We recently welcomed Lauren to The Grand for a stay involving slow mornings, coffee under the covers and absolutely no reason to rush downstairs.

Because sometimes the best part of the hotel stay is having nowhere else you need to be.

Thank you for spending the night with us, Lauren. We think you suited The Grand rather well 🍸

Checkout is tomorrow’s problem.

For now, there’s something cold in the glass, something worth reading and a very convincing argument for staying exactly where you are.

A little glimpse of life at The Grand. ✨

Slow mornings, getting ready without the rush, dinner downstairs and somewhere beautiful to come back to at the end of it all.

We recently had the lovely aisha stay with us and experience a little of what The Grand is all about.

Consider this your sign to plan your own stay. 🥂

The first coffee of the day always tastes better when you’re away ☕️

Take your time, open the curtains, put the kettle on and let the morning unfold at its own pace.

Because the best stays are the ones you never have to rush and are met exactly where you are.
