Welcome

Built on the former site of a Grade II listed Boys Grammar School, the Leopold Hotel is Sheffield’s only four star boutique hotel.

The imposing building has been sympathetically restored to retain its charming architectural character. Each of the hotel’s 90 en-suite bedrooms is uniquely furnished, offering every modern amenity for the discerning traveller. Taking great care of the individual needs of our guests, our friendly staff are professional and efficient.
