A few minutes walk from both the train station and Leeds’ main shopping district, The Chambers boasts 58 rooms, all individually styled with chic, modern decor. This is first class luxury in a gorgeous old turn-of-the-century building, restored and refitted but retaining plenty of that old world charm.

Yes, you guessed it – this jazz-themed hotel takes its inspiration from Duke Ellington himself, who played at the Leeds Music Festival in the late 1950s. Jazzy touches are dotted throughout the 30-odd rooms, with framed sheet music and appropriately-named cocktails. As Nat King Cole might say, if he’d lived to the ripe old age of 99, unforgettable.

Quebecs Hotel is a 19th century stately hotel for those who like the finer things in life, boasting chandeliers, ornate stained glass windows and ‘soaking tubs’ (otherwise known as ‘posh baths’), a cheap B&B it ain’t.

You can’t go far wrong with a Malmaison hotel room, and the Leeds arm is one of the best around. It’s based in a converted Victorian office block and boasts gorgeous rooms, with every stylish mod con you could possibly wish for. Not to mention the best-smelling range of toiletries of any hotel ever – trust us on this.

The Woodlands Hotel might be slightly outside of the city centre, but it’s well worth the trip to stay in this stunning grade II listed building. Wander the grounds, lonely as a cloud, and you’ll soon realise why this is one of Leeds’ most popular wedding venues.
