Hotel Brooklyn will open its second hotel in Leicester in the summer of 2022, following the launch of a Manchester site in February.
The interior of the 191 bedroom hotel being built next to the Tigers Stadium in Leicester, is being designed by Oxfordshire-based Squid Inc, which specialises in the club, hotel and restaurant sectors.
The same team helped create the look of the Hotel Gotham and Hotel Brooklyn, run by the same hotel operator Bespoke Hotels.

The interior team is working with Motionpoint, a London-based specialist in designing buildings that can be easily accessed by anyone, regardless of ability.
Work started on site a couple of months ago, led by property developer Marshalls Commercial Property Development.
It will have:
– 191 stylish bedrooms, including accessible – or ‘Liberty’ - rooms
– The Lair Restaurant and Bar

– A park and direct access into the Welford Road Stadium, the home of the Leicester Tigers
As well as offering “high-class” corporate hospitality, the restaurants and bar will showcase European and American influences, and the rooms will include a number of “skyline” suites.
Robin Sheppard, chairman of Bespoke Hotels, said: “We are thrilled to have secured this fantastic site in Leicester – right next door to the Welford Road Stadium.
“Being built by our trusted partners Marshall CDP, with whom we have worked several times before, we believe Hotel Brooklyn is a perfect fit for Leicester.
“It will bring a destination hotel into the heart of the city, attract a new audience of customers and, we hope, become a business of which the city will be truly proud."

Oliver Redfern, lead interior designer of Squid Inc, said: “This hotel has a very unique neighbour in the form of ‘Leicester Tigers’ rugby club and will most definitely add a little extra inspiration into the design.
“Architectural features, such as the striking central atrium stretching over five floors, will allow us to take the Brooklyn ethos – a palpable anti-slick, anti-corporate sensibility – to a whole new level.”
Inspired by 1920’s-1940’s New York, Hotel Brooklyn opened its first hotel in central Manchester at the start of the year under the management of Bespoke Hotels.
It champions "accessible, sexy and modern design for all".
Formed in 2000, Bespoke Hotels has grown to represent over 200 properties worldwide, and is the 海角视频’s biggest independent hotel group.
Its properties range from specialist golfing hotels, to spa resorts and chic city centre properties.
