Hyatt Hotels Corporation today announces the opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds in the United Kingdom, marking the debut of the Hyatt brands in Leeds. This dual-branded development, combining Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, features intuitive design, practical amenities, spacious rooms, and 24/7 convenience, offering guests a home away from home.
With a state-of-the-art fitness centre, flexible meeting spaces, and stunning city views, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds are the ideal city retreat for business, leisure, and extended stay travellers.
Located in the heart of Leeds, in the regenerated Sovereign Square, these hotels are just a stone’s throw from the train station and close to the city’s bustling retail and restaurant scene. The square is also a pleasant stroll away from cultural and artistic landmarks, including the Northern Ballet, West Yorkshire Playhouse, and First Direct Arena.
Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds together offer 305 guestrooms, all thoughtfully designed to provide both work and lounge space. Catering to transient travellers, Hyatt Place Leeds features 217 spacious and soundproof guestrooms, while Hyatt House Leeds features 88 apartment-style guestrooms, ideal for those seeking an extended, residential experience.
“The opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds is sure to be an exciting addition to Leeds city centre,” said Peter Dodd, General Manager, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds. “Everything from the hotels’ contemporary layout to their spacious and impressive suites has been intricately designed to ensure guests enjoy the highest quality of comfort and flexibility during their stay. Azotea, the welcoming rooftop bar and restaurant at Hyatt Place Leeds, is expected to be a jewel in the Leeds crown. Bringing vibrant Latin cuisine, lively entertainment, and stunning views, it promises to bring something truly special to the city’s dining scene.
The hotels and restaurant are managed by leading third-party management company Aimbridge Hospitality. David Anderson, divisional president at Aimbridge EMEA, said, “We are pleased to bring our expertise in hotel and restaurant management to these exciting new hotels located in a prominent spot in Leeds city centre.”
Contemporary design meets Victorian heritage
Blending contemporary style with rich history, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds draw inspiration from the city’s Victorian heritage, iconic railway arches, and emblematic owl featured in artwork throughout. Designed by DLA Architects and Studio Two, the building incorporates curved and convex beam elements, creating a distinctive industrial architectural feature.
Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds are BREEAM certified and fully electric, underscoring the hotels’ dedication to creating more sustainable, high-performing buildings.
Reaching new culinary heights
A key highlight of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds is the Azotea rooftop bar and Latin American restaurant, located on the 12th floor of the property. With breath taking panoramic views of the Leeds skyline, Azotea offers an exciting mix of Latin American flavours, live music, and a vibrant atmosphere.
The rooftop also features two outdoor terraces, providing guests with the perfect setting to unwind and take in the city views.
