Hotel and restaurant opening this summer following multi-million pound investment
A 107-bedroom hotel with a connecting bar and restaurant is to open in Leeds this summer.
Located on Lower Briggate, Hotel Indigo Leeds will be opening its doors alongside a new Mediterranean-inspired bar and restaurant – The Banksia.
Bringing more than 60 jobs to the city, the 45,000 sq ft hotel will also have two meeting rooms and a fitness centre complete with the latest equipment.
This will be the 20th Hotel Indigo set to be opened by IHG Hotels & Resorts in the UK to date.
The Banksia restaurant, located on the ground floor of the hotel, will offer all-day Mediterranean dining.
Simon Grace, general manager at Hotel Indigo Leeds, said: “We can’t wait to welcome the communities in and around Leeds in what is sure to be an exciting addition to Leeds city centre this summer.
“We pride ourselves on creating an inviting, vibrant space that guests can enjoy, with personal service throughout their stay, that makes them feel instantly at home.
“Bringing a taste of the sun-soaked Mediterranean, The Banksia bar and restaurant will become the perfect hub for after work drinks, or to wine, dine and dance the night away – whether people are looking for a private small plates meal with friends, or a large scale a la carte dining experience.
“Signature Mediterranean flavours paired with fresh, simple, local ingredients will be brought to life by a team of talented chefs.”
Keval Thakerar, director of Belfont Hotels, the hotel’s owners, added: “Leeds is such a thriving city, and we can’t wait to become a part of it. We’re excited to throw open the doors and welcome our first guests to the brand-new site.
“Every Hotel Indigo is different, and this applies to our Leeds site, as we capture the essence of the city’s neighbourhood through unique touches.”
