Luxury hotel chain Edwardian Hotels London is developing a new 350 bedroom hotel and cinema complex in the heart of Leicester Square, London with a variety of leisure facilities and a mixture of bars and restaurants.

Once completed in 2020 The Leicester Square Hotel will have eight storeys above ground and six below ground.
