The Met Hotel, Leeds

The Met Hotel, located on King Street in the heart of Leeds, is a Grade II listed building celebrated for its remarkable Victorian terracotta façade and historic architectural charm. Originally opening in 1899 as the Hotel Metropole, the building was designed by local architects Harry Sutton Chorley and J.W. Connon. It features a distinctive cupola atop its roof, salvaged from the city’s demolished 4th White Cloth Hall, further enhancing its historical significance.

Undergoing a £6 million renovation in 2005 by the Principal Hayley Group, the hotel was reimagined as The Met, blending its rich architectural heritage with modern comforts. Boasting four-star amenities, The Met offers 120 elegantly designed rooms that combine historical elegance with contemporary style, providing an ideal retreat for both leisure and business travelers.

Guests can enjoy the Tempus Restaurant & Bar, where seasonally inspired menus crafted from local ingredients are served in a chic setting. The hotel also stands out as a premier venue for events, featuring 14 modern event spaces, including a grand ballroom, perfect for weddings, conferences, and celebrations.

Conveniently situated within Leeds' central business district, The Met Hotel is just minutes from the train station and a short stroll from the city’s vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment scene. With its blend of historic grandeur and modern sophistication, The Met continues to be a cherished landmark and an ideal destination for those exploring Leeds.
