There is plenty to see and do in Leeds and the surrounding area. The city offers superb shopping and many historic buildings have been converted into beautiful ornate shopping malls, such as the Victoria Quarter or the Corn Exchange, which offer a choice of unique high-fashion boutiques. As you would expect, Leeds also offers the usual range of well-known high street shops and familiar department stores.
The towns and tourist spots in the Yorkshire area are also easily accessible with the hotel as a comfortable and luxurious base. There is a wealth of famous attractions nearby, including the Royal Armouries, where you can experience battle re-enactments and hundreds of historical exhibits. Theatre lovers can choose from the Yorkshire Playhouse, The Grand or the Leeds Civic Theatre.
Further afield, attractions include the extensive ruins of Kirkstall Abbey and the beautiful Castle Howard, often featured in television period dramas. Armley Mills Leeds Industrial Museum was once the world's largest woollen mill. Today it is a museum of industrial heritage offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Industrial Revolution. Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Harewood House are also just a short drive from Leeds and are both well worth a visit.
