Top hotels in Arena Quarter
Leeds Marriott Hotel
Very clean room well serviced. All staff very friendly and attentive. The hotel is very well situated in the centre of Leeds. Walking distance to most entertainment venues including the first direct arena. Our only disappointment was the breakfast. Although very nice it was a bit chaotic when busy. ...
