Tower Street Apartments, Leicester

Victorian charm, boutique comfort

Gloss Interiors were commissioned to transform a beautiful derelict Victorian villa in the heart of Leicester into two stylish, luxury serviced apartments, thoughtfully designed to offer guests a sophisticated home-from-home experience.

The design brief was centred around creating elegant, welcoming accommodation that would appeal to a diverse range of visitors, from those exploring Leicester’s rich history, culture and sporting attractions to professionals visiting the city’s nearby universities and hospitals. The aim was to combine the comfort and familiarity of home with the quality, attention to detail and luxurious finishes of a boutique hotel.

Taking inspiration from the property’s Victorian heritage, our serviced apartment interior design blends traditional architectural character with contemporary styling. A calming palette of soft neutrals, muted greens and warm natural tones was introduced throughout, complemented by elegant wall panelling, textured finishes, carefully considered lighting and rich, comfortable furnishings. Each room was individually designed with relaxation, practicality and the guest experience at its heart, creating beautiful spaces that feel both refined and effortlessly inviting.

Particular attention was given to the kitchens and bathrooms, with Gloss Interiors working closely alongside contractors to ensure every detail was thoughtfully planned. From stylish, fully equipped kitchens and comfortable living spaces to beautifully finished bathrooms and restful bedrooms, every element was considered to provide a seamless and enjoyable stay.

The result is two distinctive, beautifully appointed apartments that celebrate the charm of the original Victorian property while delivering the comfort, functionality and understated luxury expected of modern premium accommodation. A thoughtful transformation that brings new life to a historic building and creates a memorable place to stay in the heart of Leicester.
