Hyatt Place and Hyatt House Open in the Heart of Leeds City Centre

CHICAGO (March 10, 2025) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announces the opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds in the United Kingdom, marking the Hyatt brands’ debut into the Leeds market.  With Hyatt Place and Hyatt House under one roof, this new dual-branded development combines intuitive design, practical amenities, spacious rooms, and 24/7 convenience, offering guests a home away from home. Together with a state-of-the-art fitness center, flexible meeting spaces and stunning city views, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds are the perfect city retreat for business, leisure and extended stay travelers alike.

Located in the heart of Leeds, in the regenerated Sovereign Square, these hotels are a stone’s throw from the train station and close to the city’s bustling retail and restaurant scene. The square itself is 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 of which are thoughtfully designed to offer both work and lounge space. Catering to transient travelers, 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 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”.

Contemporary design meets Victorian heritage

Blending contemporary style with rich history, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds draw inspiration from the city’s rich Victorian heritage, iconic railway arches and emblematic owl which is featured in artwork throughout. Designed by DLA Architects and Studio Two, the building incorporates curved, convex beam elements, creating a distinctive industrial architectural feature.

Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds are BREEAM certified and fully electric, which underscores 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 breathtaking panoramic views of the Leeds skyline, Azotea offers an exciting mix of Latin American flavors, 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. On the ground floor, Zoom Restaurant & Bar offers an all-day dining menu featuring global and locally inspired dishes, ideal for casual dining or a relaxing drink.

“The concept for the impressive Azotea rooftop bar and restaurant was developed by our in-house food and beverage team, and they have been working alongside the hotel team to bring this exciting vision to life. Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds are a fantastic addition to our vast brand portfolio of UK and European hotels and offer a different experience for both leisure and business travellers in a growing, vibrant city.”
