Traveling to Leicester by car? You'll find a solid selection of hotels that include free parking-saving you the hassle and cost of city-center car parks. Options range from a family-run boutique near the city center to a Georgian manor set in parkland, all with parking included in your room rate. Budget-wise, expect to pay anywhere from £50 per night for a no-frills guesthouse to £150+ for a more upscale stay, depending on the season and how far in advance you book. Popular areas to base yourself include the city center for walking access to landmarks like Leicester Cathedral, or the outskirts near Braunstone Park for a quieter, greener setting.
Among the top-rated picks, The Belmont Hotel (guest score 8.7/10) offers stylish en-suite rooms, free WiFi, and a restaurant, just minutes from the M1 and M69. St Martins Lodge (9.2/10) provides a central base with De Montfort University an 8-minute walk away, plus free parking and a 24-hour front desk. For a characterful option, Winstanley House is a Grade II Listed Georgian manor with a steakhouse and EV charging points, though it's set back in Braunstone Park-use the Gooding Avenue entrance. The Regency Hotel, a restored Victorian townhouse, is a budget-friendly choice 5 minutes from the rail station, while Grafton House offers shared bathrooms at a lower price point. For business travelers, Holiday Inn Express Leicester City includes free parking, meeting rooms, and is adjacent to Leicester City Football Club. Check each hotel's parking policy (some may have limited spaces) and book directly for the best rates.
