A little secret worth sharing… 50% off food at O.W throughout September. Consider this your sign to order the extra side. And probably dessert too.

Join us Monday–Thursday, between 5pm–7:30pm, and enjoy half-price food across the menu — from the dishes you already have your eye on to the ones you’ll inevitably order “for the table”.

Good food, a bottle of something chilled and absolutely no reason to be sensible with the ordering.

Your table is waiting.

A night to mark a new chapter for an icon of Leicester. ✨

The Grand Hotel Leicester has stood at the heart of the city for generations - a place made for celebrations, conversations, dinners, dances and stories worth remembering. And last week, we had the pleasure of opening its doors for a very special evening: the official Grand Launch.

From the moment the ribbon was cut, the hotel came alive.

Guests explored our historic spaces while live music filled the Grand Hall, cocktails were poured, glasses were raised and our chefs served a taste of what’s to come. From live entertainment and incredible food to a ch*****ne tower (because some occasions deserve nothing less), every detail of the evening was a celebration of The Grand - both its remarkable past and everything that lies ahead.

Most importantly, the night was about people. Our guests, our partners, our team and the city we’re so proud to call home. Seeing these rooms filled once again with conversation, music, laughter and celebration was exactly how this next chapter deserved to begin.

The building may have more than a century of stories behind it, but there are plenty more still to be written.

To everyone who joined us for the Grand Launch, thank you for being part of such a special evening.

The Grand is back. And this is only the beginning.

Welcome to The Grand Hotel Leicester. 🥂

Some evenings mark a moment. This one marked the beginning of something new.

The Grand Launch Party brought together familiar faces, new friends and the people who have helped shape the next chapter of The Grand Hotel Leicester — for an evening of live music, cocktails, incredible food and a first taste of what’s to come.

There was a real sense of occasion in the room. Glasses raised, music playing, conversations running late and The Grand doing what it has always done best: bringing people together.

To everyone who joined us, celebrated with us and made the evening what it was - thank you. This was only the beginning.

A new chapter for an iconic Leicester hotel. Welcome to The Grand.

A rather good reason to stay in.

Fresh sheets, something chilled, and the luxury of having nowhere else to be.

At The Grand, we’re rather fond of the slower side of a city break - mornings that start late, robes that stay on longer than intended, and plans that can wait until after another glass.

Your room is ready when you are.
