Park Plaza Leeds hotel has unveiled redesigned guest rooms and suites, and a renovated lobby and public areas resulting from a £2 million refurbishment project.

One of 17 contemporary Park Plaza hotels throughout the UK and Europe, Park Plaza Leeds’ newly designed guest rooms and suites incorporate a distinctive jewel-tone colour palette featuring deep amethyst and crimson. They have been designed to reflect guests’ desire for an updated, contemporary environment that still offers warmth and comfort whilst away from home.

Paul Rogers, General Manager of Park Plaza Leeds, said: “These enhancements are part of our commitment to offering our guests a stylish, modern setting while still providing the comfort and outstanding service that have been our hallmarks.”

The redesigned guest rooms and suites were enhanced with new mattresses, bedding, carpets, occasional chairs, desk chairs, curtains, paint and 37-inch flat screen televisions.

Updates to the hotel’s public spaces have included the addition of a ground-floor executive lounge and a refurbished lobby, check-in area, and Scene Coffee Bar, which overlooks the City Square. The award-winning Chino Latino Pan-Asian restaurant and Latin bar and lounge also has been refurbished.

Conveniently situated in the City Square opposite Leeds Railway Station and within walking distance to many of the city’s top attractions, Park Plaza Leeds features 185 guest rooms and suites, including City View Executive Rooms boasting spectacular views over Leeds. The hotel offers an on-site gym, Wi-Fi, and business centre as well as 11 meeting rooms featuring natural daylight. After a hard day at work or play, guests appreciate relaxing in the lobby bar or enjoying its award-winning Chino Latino Pan-Asian restaurant and Latin cocktail bar and lounge.
