Leicester House

General information

Leicester House is a new boutique hotel offering classic dishes with an Asian twist in the heart of Chinatown. This transformed Georgian townhouse offers a 50 cover restaurant and bar with fifteen newly decorated bedrooms with two additional suites.

With renovated rooms and all day dining service, Leicester House will bring a new energy to the area.

This iconic site has an impressive heritage depicted by the black plaque. A memorable stay is on the cards when lodging in this grand building where Karl Marx and Johann Strauss were former guests. It was also home to Mazi's restaurant and has retained the evocative signage on the exterior.

It's a convivial destination for locals to drop in for a quick bite or pre theatre snack and a beer, plus a 2am license makes us a great late night cocktail spot.

With the theatre of an open kitchen and a Robata charcoal grill, Leicester House is the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed lunch or dinner Signature dishes include Blackened Squid with salt, pepper, lime and chilli or Scallops with seashore vegetables, mirin, herbs and bone broth and Smoked ribs, Kaffir lime, coriander.
