Nice hotel in Leeds needed

[LeadFarmer]

Can anyone recommend a nice hotel in Leeds, one thats a bit posher than the usual Premier Inn type, and preferably close to, or in the city centre please?

I will soon have to go there through work, and would like to take the wife and stay somewhere a bit posher for a change. I can claim up to a certain amount as expenses and i'm happy to put in extra for somewhere posher than normal. No particular budget, but within the £200 mark. Not bothered about using gym/pool facilities, just a nicer room than normal.

Thanks.

I stopped at the crowne plaza some years back which was nice.

My hotspot choice is the village out on the Otley Road. The Grande Plaza is in town and closer

Dakota deluxe.
It's in a great location near the centre.
TripAdvisor reviews should indicate just how good it is.

I like Quebec's, I don't rate the Hilton or Queens.

The Malmaison is supposed to be decent.

Malmaison is decent if you want a chain

Malmaison or the new(ish) Hilton.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Dakota Deluxe does look very good, and as you say, it's in a great location.

42 The Calls is very nice and a bit different

Stayed at the Dakota a few weeks ago, would definitely go back.

Recent reviews are not so positive; I stayed there years ago and it was good but maybe tired?

I live in Leeds but me and my good lady stayed in the Radisson Blu last month for our anniversary night out. Can't fault it at all, they gave us a free room upgrade too because I mentioned it was a special occasion when I booked.

We ended up in a suite and had a great breakfast.

Lots of the other places mentioned are solid choices though.

When I was hoteling 2 years ago I found Queens the nicest - better than Novotel & Radisson. Was quite cheap too at the time (£66).
Otherwise do trivago, etc & look at the reviews.

I use the Dakota Deluxe when I go up there for work, it is quite nice compared to others I've used. Parking can be an issue though.

It certainly looks nice on their website.
