“This 18th Century corn mill conversion on River Aire was Leeds' first boutique hotel and remains a hot spot for both business and leisure guests. Contemporary rooms house art works, TV and the homely touch of daily made biscuits. The romantic notion of breakfast in bed is lived to the full here. ”

Hotel review

The first boutique hotel to open outside London, 42 The Calls is still the place to stay in Leeds. An imaginative conversion of an 18th century corn mill, the building bristles with beams, girders and cast-iron pillars, all giving robust character to the rooms. Contemporary art softens the masculine-style bedrooms, which are faultlessly well-equipped. Don't miss Nigel Stanley's award-winning breakfast, served in a cosy beamed room.
