Nestled in the heart of Leeds city centre, the Leeds Marriott Hotel offers a seamless blend of historic charm and modern luxury.
Located at Trevelyan Square on Boar Lane, the hotel sits in a leafy enclave just steps from the bustling Trinity Shopping Centre and a short walk from Leeds Train Station. The building itself carries a quiet elegance, with its roots in the city’s commercial past now transformed into a haven for leisure and business travellers alike.
From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was struck by the tasteful décor – contemporary yet warm, with plush seating, polished marble floors, and subtle lighting that set a relaxed tone. The hotel’s design feels both upscale and inviting, with nods to classic British style throughout

My room was one of the 244 available, including 8 suites, and it didn’t disappoint. Spacious, air-conditioned, and thoughtfully laid out, it featured a luxurious mattress and fluffy soft pillows, crisp linens, and blackout curtains for a perfect night’s sleep. Amenities included a flat-screen TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, a coffee and tea maker, and a well-lit workspace. The bathroom was pristine, stocked with premium toiletries, a hairdryer, and soft towels – everything you’d expect from a four-star property.
Dining at the hotel was a highlight. Gino D’Acampo’s Italian restaurant is a glamorous affair, with a marble bar, cicchetti lounge, and a heated outdoor terrace. The food was exceptional, and the ambiance made every meal feel like a special occasion.
The Executive Lounge was another standout. Reserved for Executive Room guests and Marriott Bonvoy Elite members, it offered complimentary breakfast, snacks, and evening canapés with wine and beer. The staff were attentive and made the experience feel personal and indulgent.
Wellness-wise, the hotel features a 24-hour fitness centre and spa facilities including a steam room and sauna – ideal for unwinding after a busy day. For business travellers or event planners, the Leeds Marriott is a powerhouse. It boasts 17 flexible MICE spaces covering over 700 square metres, including rooms like the Thomas Ambler Suite and Trevelyan sections. These spaces are equipped with modern AV tech, some with natural light and cater to everything from intimate board meetings with break out areas, to large conferences and weddings.
Why stay at the Leeds Marriott? It’s the perfect fusion of location, comfort, and service. Whether you’re in town for business, a romantic getaway, or a shopping spree or even football, the hotel delivers on all fronts. With its central location, upscale amenities, and exceptional hospitality, it’s a place I’d return to without hesitation.
