A good hotel stay starts long before your head hits the pillow.

Perhaps it’s a magazine picked up at the airport, your favourite fragrance, a silk eye mask, or the book that always seems to travel with you.

The small comforts. The familiar routines. The things that make a room feel like home.

What’s the one bedside essential you never travel without?

Welcome home… 🍸

The first thing you should feel when you walk through our doors isn’t that you’ve arrived at a hotel.

It’s that sense of exhaling. Of putting your bags down. Of knowing someone has thought of the details for you.

A warm welcome, comfortable corners, familiar faces at the bar, and a space that invites you to slow down for a while.

Welcome home. Welcome to The Grand.

Not every part of a getaway happens outside the hotel.

Sometimes it’s the quiet ritual of getting ready. The robe. The soft lighting. A favourite lipstick. The extra few minutes you never seem to have at home.

At The Grand, we’ve created spaces designed for lingering a little longer. Because the best stays aren’t just about where you sleep, they’re about how you feel while you’re there.

Your room. Your pace. Your moment.

The kind of morning you wish you could slow down a little more. Fresh coffee in hand, curtains still half closed, nowhere to be for a while except exactly here.

At The Grand, comfort was always part of the plan.

There’s a reason people still stop to look up at The Grand.

Built in 1898 and standing proudly in the centre of Leicester ever since, it was designed for arrival from the very beginning, a hotel made for the golden age of travel, where first impressions mattered.

More than a century later, they still do.

Some weddings feel like moments. Others feel like theatre.

The kind where every detail is considered. The lights dim slightly before the entrance. The room falls quiet for just a second. The flowers trail from the stage like artwork. The architecture does the rest.

At The Grand, celebrations were never meant to feel ordinary.

A setting made for unforgettable entrances, long evenings, and memories that deserve a little grandeur behind them.

Welcome to weddings at The Grand Hotel Leicester, done properly.
