Hotel Brooklyn was created to provide a high-quality place to stay in Leicester, right next to the Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road stadium.
Built on the former site of the city’s Granby Halls, Hotel Brooklyn has 191 bedrooms and was designed to offer more than a standard hotel experience.
The building is linked to the Tigers ground by a footbridge and is also close to Leicester City’s King Power Stadium and Leicester’s two universities and the LRI hospital.
Constructed with a steel frame, the building is clad in brickwork, curtain walling and rainscreen cladding.
The Hotel Brooklyn branding builds on the first Hotel Brooklyn in Manchester. The Brooklyn theme extends to the interiors and even the cocktails.
At the hub of Hotel Brooklyn is a living/working space called The Grandstand. It’s an area for watching movies, musical performance and small gatherings. The restaurant is called The Lair, with a Brooklyn-inspired menu.
Outside is a large plaza which becomes a fan zone on match days.

The Sir Bob Burgess Teaching and Learning Building is a key new building in the £150m redevelopment of the University of Leicester’s Freemen’s Common site.
The redeveloped St Margaret’s Bus Station replaced the previous 1980s station and is designed to be a catalyst for more development in that part of the city centre.
