Following the success of Hotel Brooklyn, Manchester which launched in 2020, the Brooklyn brand is set to open its second property in Leicester this June 2022.
Adjacent to the Welford Road Stadium, home of the Leicester Tigers rugby team, the 191-room hotel will again be inspired by the New York Borough, with an industrial aesthetic, impressive atrium and exposed brickwork.
Like its sister property in Manchester, the hotel said its interior and its accessible rooms have been overseen by SquidInc, with specific features also designed by Motionspot, the UK’s leading accessible design company.
According to the group, the Lair will be the “hub” of the hotel with an open plan bar, restaurant and living / working space that will provide a flexible, social environment. Linked with the central bar the restaurant provides space for up to 120 guests, with a theatre style kitchen and servery.
Public spaces – including a working space, a Grandstand for watching films or live sport, a restaurant and bar – will all be “significantly” more expansive than the Manchester hotel.
The Brooklyn brand also added there will be a number of skyline suites, rooms with hot-tub terraces and executive suites with free-standing baths, dog-friendly rooms and quirky, modern lead-in rooms as well as spaces for sophisticated and fun corporate hospitality.
Paul Baylisss MBE, regional general manager of the Hotel Brooklyn Brand, said: “The opening of Hotel Brooklyn, Leicester is probably more exciting than opening our first hotel in Manchester. The hotel has all of what the Brooklyn brand stands for, plus a magnificent array of public spaces. I’m certain Leicester will be very pleased indeed.”
