The original Turf Inn was built in 1810, becoming a private residence until 1854 when it was bought by the county. The building proudly housed the West Yorkshire Regiment of Matilda until 1882 when it again passed to private hands. In 1920 it was converted into accommodation for the stable lads and served the turf until it was purchased and converted into The Grand St. Leger Hotel. The hotel is conveniently located just outside central Doncaster and provides the ideal location when visiting Doncaster whilst for business or pleasure. Situated just across from Doncaster Racecourse, the hotel is perfect for horse racing fans. We offer the best accommodation in the city and are the perfect venue for pre or post racing drinks or meals. After an extensive refurbishment, the hotel has been restored to a level of elegance and comfort that surpasses its former glory.

Meanwhile, in the Paddock Bar the mood is more vibrant yet comfortable, a place where you may enjoy meeting friends or colleagues throughout the day for coffee or bar snacks.
