Hyatt Completes Sovereign Sq Regeneration.

The £62.7 million Hyatt Leeds, a landmark 14-storey, 305-room hotel in the city centre opened on 10th March.  Operating under Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, this scheme offers both short- and long-stay accommodation. The design thoughtfully integrates Leeds’ architectural heritage, featuring a colonnade inspired by the city’s historic arches and a striking owl mural symbolising local identity. Hyatt House introduces 88 extended-stay suites with fully equipped kitchens, catering to business travellers and long-term guests.

Mark Redfern Associate Director & Design Lead said:

“The new Hyatt hotel signifies the completion of the award-winning Sovereign Square regeneration, and I’m delighted that DLA is part of this significant milestone in the city’s ongoing urban transformation. The building takes reference and reinterprets the surrounding historic architectural vernacular while offering a modern hotel experience, with amenities that cater to both hotel guests and a fresh nightlife destination for the Leeds locals”.

Matt Lawson Associate Director & Technical Lead said:

“Positioned in a prime location at Sovereign Square, the hotel will provide high-quality accommodation and an exciting new roof top venue, further enhancing Leeds’ reputation as a top destination for both business and leisure travellers. Having been involved in the design and delivery of this scheme for a number of years, it is especially rewarding to see how closely the final result matches the original vision, a true testament to the quality of design and execution for which DLA is known”.

Peter Dodd, General Manager, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds, said:

“The opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds is sure to be an exciting addition to Leeds City Centre. Everything from the hotels’ contemporary layout to their spacious and impressive suites has been intricately designed to ensure guests enjoy the highest quality of comfort and flexibility during their stay. Azotea, the welcoming rooftop bar and restaurant at Hyatt Place Leeds, is expected to be a jewel in the Leeds crown. Bringing vibrant Latin cuisine, lively entertainment, and stunning views, it promises to bring something truly special to the city’s dining scene.”
