“The Empire Hotel offers Victorian architecture with some modern updates near Leicester's attractions; I appreciate the proximity to shopping and dining. Fusion dining attempts to blend Chinese and Indian flavors, and the hotel is managed professionally, in my opinion. The location near the M1 makes it potentially practical.”
