‘I discovered the friendliest hotel in Leeds where Grace Kelly and Nelson Mandela have stayed’

The Queens Hotel is a huge, impressive building in the centre of Leeds, right next to the train station, which opened in 1937.The hotel recently underwent a £16 million renovation, updating all 232 rooms while preserving the art deco charm that has been savoured by guests such as Grace Kelly and Nelson Mandela.

While it’s a clearly sophisticated venue, it also has a warm, welcoming atmosphere.There’s no standing awkwardly in the elevator – this is a place where friendly chats are pretty much compulsory.

For the ultimate experience, guests are advised to book a City View room, which offers fantastic views of City Square. Where to eat in Leeds You don’t have to stroll far from your room to find a delightful High Tea in the hotel’s Grand Pacific restaurant.

Our friendly, attentive waiter Pete really added to the enjoyment of the experience and providing one platter for a vegetarian and one for a meat-eater was a fuss-free process.Topped off with a few glasses of prosecco, this really is a wonderful way to set your early evening off on the right track.
