The Queens Hotel
The QHotels Group has announced a £16 million investment in The Queens Hotel, Leeds.

The plans include a renovation of all bedrooms, as well as an addition of 16, bringing the total to 232. Playing to the “new way people are now using city-centre hotel spaces” the plans will create a social hub with a multitude of communal areas, a wine bar, outdoor terrace and central restaurant. Richard Moore, Group Chief Executive of The QHotels Group, which boasts a 21-strong hotel portfolio, says: “We’re very fortunate to have supportive shareholders who, despite the current economic conditions, remain passionate and continue to share our vision for the hotel.”
