About Dakota Leeds

Dakota Leeds sits on Russell Street in the heart of the city centre, a short walk from City Square, the railway station and the First Direct Arena. The hotel is built around the Dakota brand's signature look: dark, contemporary interiors, low lighting and a calm, understated feel that stands apart from the more traditional grand hotels elsewhere in Leeds.

Rooms are finished with premium bedding, rainfall showers and a consistent, pared-back design across the standard rooms and suites. The Grill restaurant serves confident, comforting British food alongside a well-stocked bar, both popular with guests staying for business and leisure alike, and the hotel also offers meeting rooms and private dining space.

Its location makes it a genuinely convenient base for exploring Leeds on foot, with the Victoria Quarter, Kirkgate Market and the main shopping streets all within ten minutes, while the railway station puts day trips to York or Harrogate within easy reach.
