Leicester Hotel Set for Major Makeover
2 May
Summary
- A former hotel in Leicester is slated for refurbishment.
- New owner plans to demolish parts of the building for restyling.
- Consultation on the plans is open until May 19, with a decision by June 19.
A former hotel in Leicester, which ceased operations in December 2025, is being considered for a significant refurbishment. Village Hotel Group, the new proprietor of the site near Fosse Park, has put forward plans for a 'comprehensive refurbishment'.
The proposals submitted to Blaby District Council involve partial demolition of the 180-room hotel to facilitate a complete restyling. Plans indicate an extension to the existing gym wing to create additional fitness and studio space.
A new courtyard corridor is designed to offer a direct and accessible route from the hotel's main entrance to the swimming pool area. Additionally, the foyer will be reconfigured to enhance the arrival experience for guests.
The existing restaurant and kitchen facilities will undergo full refurbishment. While the layout of the back-of-house areas and all 180 guestrooms will be maintained, these spaces will also be refurbished. The consultation period for these plans closes on May 19, with a decision expected by June 19.
