Nottingham construction firm chosen to deliver multi-million-pound hotel refurbishment in Leeds

Nottingham-based Clegg Construction has been appointed to deliver a multimillion-pound refurbishment at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Leeds.

Construction has recently started at the hotel, with Belfront Hotels set to manage the establishment.

The project involves renovating existing rooms, adding new ones, and modernising the ground floor function spaces, restaurant, and bar, as well as making improvements to the windows, roof, and exteriors. This renovation will also increase the total number of guest rooms to 108.

Clegg Construction director, Ross Crowcroft, said: “We are very pleased to have started on site to refurbish and modernise one of the most iconic hotels in Leeds city centre. This refurbishment of the Cosmopolitan Hotel for Belfont Hotels will upgrade a landmark building in the heart of Leeds and turn it into a leading hospitality venue which will be perfect for both leisure and corporate demand.

“Clegg Construction is extremely familiar with the area around The Cosmopolitan Hotel, as we are currently on-site at Spinners Yard in Regent Street delivering a 185-apartment private rented scheme for Rise Homes, plus we are working on an 11-storey student accommodation development in Leylands Road.”

Work is expected to be completed by spring 2025.
