History

Belmont House was build in the 1860’s and was part of the speculative development of New Walk. One hundred and thirty years later the excellent proportions and graceful elegance of the buildings form an integral part of this lovely Victorian conservation area. Originally known as Queen’s Walk, New Walk was laid out in 1785 and runs along one of the most beautiful stretches of Leicester. For over 200 years, this scenic walkway has been designated strictly for pedestrian use connecting the town with the former racecourse, now Victoria Park.

The Hotel has been owned by the Bowie Family for over 70 years, following a tradition founded on the principals of great service, comfort and style – qualities that have been maintained and built upon by the current owners.
Over the years many changes have been made to the fabric of the hotel, but always with a sympathetic eye to the style and elegance of the building. The hotel now has 77 bedrooms all individually designed to offer our guests a touch of luxury. Good food is provided from our award winning kitchen, in either the Cherry Restaurant or Bowies, Bar Restaurant. But the heart of the hotel is Jamie's Lounge Bar, by day, a meeting place for light bites, coffee or a refreshing glass of wine. By night, a relaxing rendezvous where guests and friends gather to wind down after the day’s business.

Whatever the reason for staying in Leicester, taking time to enjoy its many attractions is well worth it’s while. Just a stroll down the New Walk takes you to the centre of Leicester with its myriad of shops. Take a wander through the historic 1,000 market with it’s hustle and bustle or choose the elegant St Martins, with it’s coffee shops and fashion houses.
