voco Leicester

Leicester

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A hotel in the heart of Leicester, right by the Tigers stadium, where small dogs stay in standard rooms and eat with you in the open lobby.

Right on the doorstep of the Leicester Tigers stadium, with its very own footbridge across, voco Leicester has 191 bedrooms in the heart of the city. Small dogs have a place at this dog friendly hotel, which keeps specially reserved rooms for them and their owners and prefers dog bookings over the phone so that everything is right before you arrive.

Dogs stay in the standard room type only, no more than two to a room, and the size rule is precise: under 10kg and 50cm tall at the tip of the ears. If you've left something for your dog at home, let Reception know before you arrive and a food bowl and dog waste bags will be waiting in the room. The team treats your dog's experience as just as important as yours.

When you eat with your dog, a member of the team guides you to the dog friendly areas in the open lobby and table service follows, so nobody has to stay behind in the room. The Lair mixes much-loved British classics with a sprinkling of creativity, the all day menu covers lighter bites, and the Classic Afternoon Tea arrives with sandwiches and sweet treats galore. The Grandstand is the laid-back space for a drink and sport on the big screen.

Among the 191 bedrooms are several skyline suites and suites with an outdoor terrace and private hot tub, though dogs stay in the standard rooms. Reception will happily suggest walking routes for your dog when you arrive, and further out, Watermead Country Park Circular, Leicester sits 4.1 miles from the hotel, and Bradgate Park and Old John Tower Circular 5.0 miles off.
