Top hotels in Arena Quarter
Leeds Marriott Hotel
Only stayed one night unfortunately but will definitely return. Staffs are very helpful and friendly; great breakfast; bedroom lovely and enjoyed the bar. We would have eaten at the restaurant but only one vegan option on the menu so are elsewhere and the gym is good as long as there are few people ...

Radisson Blu Hotel, Leeds City Centre
Very dated, room very warm as air conditioning did not point towards the bed. Slept on top it the bed and still woke several times during the night. Pet hate is no water provided in a four star hotel.
