Hyatt Hotels has announced the opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds in the United Kingdom, marking the brand’s debut into the Leeds market.
Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds together offer 305 guestrooms, all of which are designed to offer both work and lounge space.
Hyatt Place Leeds offers 217 guestrooms designed for transient travellers, while Hyatt House Leeds provides 88 apartment-style guestrooms, catering to guests seeking longer stays with a more residential experience.
The designs of both sites are influenced by the city’s Victorian heritage, railway arches, and the emblematic owl, which is reflected in the artwork. Created by DLA Architects and Studio Two, the buildings feature curved, convex beam elements, contributing to an industrial architectural style.
The buildings, which are also BREEAM certified and fully electric, also feature the Azotea rooftop bar on the 12th floor and the Zoom Restaurant and Bar on the ground floor.
Azotea serves a variety of Latin American flavours with live music and features two outdoor terraces. Meanwhile, the Zoom Restaurant and Bar provides an all-day dining menu with a selection of global and locally inspired dishes.
Additionally, the two hotels also offer functional meeting spaces designed to cater to a variety of business needs.
With four meeting rooms, including the largest space of 223 square feet (20.8m²), the hotels provide a setting for small meetings, conferences, and training sessions.
For larger events, the Azotea rooftop bar can accommodate up to 200 guests for private events with panoramic city views.
The hotels and restaurants are managed by third-party management company Aimbridge Hospitality.
Peter Dodd, general manager of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds, said: “The opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds is sure to be an exciting addition to Leeds City Centre.
“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.”
David Anderson, divisional president at Aimbridge EMEA, added: “We are really pleased to bring our expertise in hotel and restaurant management to these exciting new hotels located in a prominent spot in Leeds City Centre.”
