Best Luxury Hotels in Leeds

Whilst it may not be as pretty as neighbouring York, Leeds benefits from being much more down to earth and lacking the touristy façade. Within easy access of the picturesque southern Dales, the aforementioned York, and also Harrogate and Manchester, Leeds is right-fully so one of the UK’s fastest growing cities. An icon of the Northern reinvention, Leeds has seen an incredible transformation thanks to a decade and a half of redevelopment. Once a run-down mill town, Leeds is now a mecca of independent dining, lively nightlife, fabulous shopping, plus a decent dose of history thanks to its rich industrial heritage. Find out where to stay in this urban hub with our hotel picks.
