Staying in Leeds
Leeds packs the shopping, business and nightlife of a large city into a walkable centre, with the Victoria Quarter and Trinity Leeds for retail, the Royal Armouries Museum and Leeds Art Gallery for culture, and venues such as the First Direct Arena and the O2 Academy for live music. The city is a major rail hub with direct trains to London, Manchester, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
Most hotels here sit in or beside the City Centre: Quebecs, Mansio Suites The Headrow, Mansio Suites Basinghall, Dakota Leeds, Quebecs Luxury Aparthotel, The Queens Hotel, Leeds Marriott Hotel and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Leeds City Centre, all within 0.7 km of the centre, plus Novotel Leeds Centre and Clayton Hotel Leeds just outside. Couples gravitate to the top-rated Quebecs Luxury Aparthotel and Dakota Leeds, families to the apartment-style Mansio Suites and the family rooms at Novotel and Clayton, while Woodlands Hotel, Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa and Weetwood Hall Conference Centre & Hotel suit those arriving by car or on business outside the centre.
