Why choose this venue
Park Plaza Leeds is directly overlooking City Square and is approximately 2 minutes' walk from Leeds Railway Station. This makes it practical for delegates arriving by train and for events that need a central Leeds location without complicated onward travel.
The hotel has 12 individual meeting rooms that can be configured into 23 distinct room combinations. The Park and Plaza suites can be opened up for larger sessions or divided into smaller rooms for breakouts, training and private meetings.
All meeting rooms are described as having floor-to-ceiling windows and wraparound views of City Square. This gives the venue a brighter, more open feel than many internal hotel meeting rooms.
