For the best part of a year, whilst working away, I called the Marriott Hotel Leeds home.
Tucked away in a cute, quiet square just off Boar Lane opposite the new Trinity shopping centre, you can escape the hubbub of central city noise whilst still being a mere 10 minute walk from the train station and for me, the all important Harvey Nichols!
Dominating the riverside, the Malmaison hotel stands tall at the northern side of the Millennium bridge. With 6 floors of guest room splendour, you are spoiled with picture perfect views from the windows.
Built in 1902 by Louis Gustave Mouchel, the former Co-operative Bonded Warehouse now houses a total of 9 floors of sheer opulence and luxury for lucky guests to enjoy. From the basement spa and leisure facilities to the the ground floor Starbucks to the upstairs Mal bar and hot new Chez Mal Brasserie.
Hampton by Hilton is, as you’d guess, an offshoot of the Hilton hotel chain. A global monster, Hampton aims itself at the mid priced market of travel which is another great addition to the tourism sector of Newcastle. I do think we are missing more luxe hotels but there’s clearly a call for budget style hotels.
