WHAT WE LOVE...

This landmark Art Deco building, next to Leeds train station, was the city's original 'grand hotel' with Princess Grace of Monaco, Cary Grant and Nelson Mandela on its guest list. A major refurbishment has restored a sense of its 1930s glamour updated with a sleek and contemporary sheen. The large entrance lounge, with its tucked-away alcoves, is an inviting space to meet or relax, the Grand Pacific bar cries out for cocktails while the adjoining restaurant offers pan-Asian dishes. There's a sweep of meeting rooms - conferences are popular - but these are separate from the main guest areas. The 232 bedrooms are sleek in shades of grey with art deco references in the design and a restful feel, the best overlooking City Square.

Style & Character

If you want a good, city-centre position and the buzz and the services of a big four-star hotel with a touch of 1930s glamour, you'll enjoy staying here. We love the original art deco features such as the bright-red lift doors with brass trims and star-shaped window panels.

Service & Facilities

Enter the hotel off City Square and you step straight into a welcoming lounge of Chesterfield sofas, big armchairs and potted palms with a mix of jazzy and bluesy music.

Rooms

The Deluxe room No 835, on the eighth floor, has a terrace with terrific city views; otherwise, City Square rooms would be our choice with lots of space and perennially interesting views over their namesake. We love the bathrooms with their big walk-in showers with fun black-and-white wall-panels of Leeds street scenes or op-art designs.
