3-star hotels in Leicester

Leicester is a lively, diverse city in the English Midlands, known for its long history, its market, its museums and its strong sporting tradition. Visitors come for the cathedral and the discovery of Richard III, the shops and restaurants of the city centre, and easy trips into the surrounding countryside. These 3-star hotels suit travellers who want practical comfort without paying for extras they will not use: city-centre sightseers, families, business visitors and drivers passing through on the motorway. Spring and summer are popular for city walks and events, while autumn and winter are quieter times to explore indoor attractions.
