DoubleTree by Hilton Leeds City Centre
2 Wharf Approach, Leeds, LS1 4BR
Located on the waterfront at Granary Wharf, DoubleTree by Hilton Leeds City Centre is a contemporary hotel and events venue in an exceptionally convenient location, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the southern entrance of Leeds Station. With accommodation, flexible meeting facilities and impressive city views all under one roof, it is particularly well-suited to conferences, meetings, training days, corporate dinners and residential events.
The hotel offers 18 meeting and event rooms, accommodating everything from small boardroom meetings to larger conferences and corporate events. The meeting spaces benefit from floor-to-ceiling windows and plenty of natural daylight, with modern AV facilities, Wi-Fi and flexible layouts available. The largest events can accommodate up to around 220 delegates, making the hotel perfect for both day and residential conferences in central Leeds.
One of the venue’s standout features is the 13th-floor Sky Lounge, a rooftop bar with panoramic views across Leeds and an outdoor terrace. It provides a stunning setting for drinks receptions, networking, informal gatherings and post-conference entertaining. There is also a private dining space for 12–20 guests, with direct access to a south-facing balcony.
On the ground floor, The Lock Kitchen & Bar provides relaxed all-day dining overlooking the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, whilst its spacious heated waterside terrace can also be hired for group bookings and corporate BBQ events.
