Headingley Hotels
Immersive Victorian history. Luxurious and interesting shopping. An abundance of green, open spaces. Leeds has a lot to offer, especially if you're staying three miles north of the city centre in one of our hotels near Headingly. What was once a booming centre of the woollen textile industry, the city fell into post-industrial decline in the mid-twentieth century. Having had an impressive regeneration, the renovated city centre is now an exciting and vibrant place, with hidden bars, pop-up markets and an array of independent shops.
