Leonardo Hotels Opens Its First Hotel in Southampton
Jurys Inn and Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland is proud to announce its newest hotel, Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton Grand Harbour, opened the 30th January. Formerly called the Grand Harbour Hotel, the new operators will retain the timeless character and ambience of the hotel while growing and developing the product and customer service. As guests step inside the eye-catching glass pyramid entrance of the hotel, they can expect a warm welcome from the local team.
Located in the city centre on West Quay Road, Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton Grand Harbour was originally opened in 1994 by De Vere and the striking four-star property features 173 rooms and suites as well as the city’s only Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill. The newly named Royal Bar serves delicious food all day with opportunity for diners to enjoy their meal al fresco on the terrace in the warmer months. At Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill, diners can choose from succulent steaks, delicious seafood and a variety of timeless culinary classics.
The hotel also has 13 meeting and event spaces, including the Mayflower function room which holds up to 500 people, making it the biggest hotel event space in the city. The space is easily adaptable and is perfect for any function, from conferences to galas, award ceremonies and weddings. It even has access for cars to be displayed. For more intimate ceremonies or civil partnerships, the hotel has a range of spaces and packages to suit.
New for 2019, the Spa at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Southampton Grand Harbour will relaunch with new packages and products for guests to enjoy from luxury cult French beauty brand, Caudalie.
