Shopping, Theatre & Cinema; these are a few of the greatest attractions in Leicester. We are conveniently located in the heart of the City Centre so if you are simply looking to do some shopping while you stay with us, you'll have a choice of visiting one of the largest shopping centres in the UK at Highcross or if you much prefer stylish boutique shops, then we recommend St Martins Square.
There is a newly-built state of the art theatre located about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. It is located in what the City Council calls the new 'Cultural Quarter' and is worth a visit.

Musuems & Galleries
Abbey Pumping Station is Leicester's Museum of Science and Technology, displaying Leicester's industrial, technological and scientific heritage. Situated adjacent to the National Space Centre, the two attractions tell the story of over 200 years of science and technology from the early days of steam and industry, to space exploration of today.
New Walk Museum & Art Gallery is situated within the historic New Walk area of the city. In 1849 the Literary and Philosophical Society formally presented to the town its various collections, which have grown and developed over the last 160 years into one of the premier museums in the region.
Parks & Open Spaces
There are many parks and open spaces in and around Leicester. Abbey Park is Leicester’s Premier park and lies approximately one mile north of the City Centre. The River Soar divides this beautiful park into two distinct areas: to the east of the river lies the highly decorative Victorian part of the park with its evergreen shrubberies, trees, lakes and formally planted flower displays and to the west of the river lies the fascinating Abbey Grounds. Within this area are the remains of the twelfth century Leicester Abbey and the ruins of Cavendish House, a seventeenth century mansion.
Close by to the hotel is Castle Park & Gardens, situated alongside the busy St Nicholas Circle; Castle Park & Gardens provides a peaceful environment in the heart of busy Leicester centre. The 4 acre site has a rock garden, mixed borders, two small ponds, waterfall and a river boat landing.
