Luxury Hotel Experience in Leeds
42 The Calls Hotel is a Grade II listed boutique hotel located along the River Aire in Leeds. Originally established in the 18th century as a corn mill, the property was transformed into a premier hospitality destination in 1991. Following a period of liquidation in 2018, the hotel was revitalized by local investor Simon Pollard, who restored its profitability before its temporary closure. Our vision for redevelopment focuses on creating a luxurious five-star experience, blending historical industrial elements with contemporary design. The proposed renovation includes 37 elegantly designed suites, two champagne bars, a gourmet riverside restaurant, and state-of-the-art conferencing facilities.

Guests can arrive via chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce or a private Riva boat cruise from Leeds Train Station, ensuring an unforgettable start to their stay. The hotels interiors combine rough stone finishes, walnut timbers, and dark marble with concealed lighting and leather accents to create a decadent atmosphere. Our dedicated concierge team ensures personalized service, while the rooftop champagne lounge offers exclusive views of the River Aire. The caf bar and restaurant provide Mediterranean-inspired ambience with fresh pastries, coffee, and gourmet dining options. We aim to position 42 The Calls Hotel as Leeds leading luxury destination, combining heritage with modern sophistication.

A somewhat small hotel with a great staff. Rooms are comfortable in an old English style. I recommend!

Had a lovely two night stay. Room was big but a weird shape, long and thin, which grew on me. Bed was huge and very comfy. Fantastic view of river. Nice to sit at window with a cup of tea in armchair. Bathroom 5 star. Only thing which let it down was the decor. Wallpaper a bit tired. I would stay here again.

Comfy hotel and nice spot by the riverside. Some furnishings and fixtures were a little worn but this adds some character. Recommend.

Lovely quirky building and amazing breakfast. The room was beautiful but a little tired looking in places. If the things like the flickering light, loose drawer handle and dodgy toilet flush were fixed it would definitely be a 5 stars from me. Still enjoyed it and the views were stunning.

An individual gem! Not part of a huge anonymous chain offering a 'box' to sleep in. The Calls offers a city hotel experience. Have stayed here on several visits to Leeds. The staff are super helpful, the rooms are all different - the location is brilliant for access to the city. Your choice....a box or a memory?
