The Met Hotel Leeds is an independent city-centre hotel and event venue located on King Street, close to Leeds railway station and the city's principal shopping, business and entertainment districts. The hotel occupies a grand Victorian building dating from the late nineteenth century and retains significant architectural character, including its Grade II-listed historic structure. The building originally opened as the Hotel Metropole in 1899 and has recently undergone a major redesign, combining Victorian character with contemporary interiors. For events, The Met provides nine dedicated meeting and event spaces, ranging from compact boardrooms for around 10–14 people to the 240 m² Met Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 250 delegates theatre-style. The ballroom can also host up to 200 for banqueting and 180 in cabaret configuration. The venue is suitable for conferences, meetings, seminars, training sessions, corporate events, product launches, private dining, weddings, birthdays and other celebrations. Its events team offers flexible room layouts, catering and technical support, while the hotel's 125 bedrooms make it suitable for residential conferences and multi-day events.
The hotel’s crown jewel is a breathtaking, expansive space combining historical 1890s architecture with sleek, independent luxury. Featuring grand high ceilings, ornate period detailing, and adaptive lighting, it accommodates up to 250 delegates. It remains the ultimate choice for large-scale conferences, exhibitions, and lavish wedding receptions in Leeds.
Harry Chorley is the hotel's second-largest dedicated event space and provides a substantial alternative to the main ballroom. Its 120 m² footprint and high ceiling make it appropriate for conferences, seminars, corporate presentations and private functions. The room can accommodate 150 theatre-style, making it suitable for sizeable delegate groups without requiring the ballroom.
Percy Shaw is a medium-sized meeting and event room with a notably high 4.9-metre ceiling. Its flexible configurations allow it to operate as a boardroom, classroom-style meeting space, cabaret environment or smaller banquet setting. It is a practical choice for medium-sized corporate events and training sessions.
Baroness Betty Boothroyd is a flexible mid-sized meeting room designed for smaller conferences, presentations and corporate gatherings. It can accommodate up to 40 theatre-style and 32 in cabaret configuration. The room is also suitable for board meetings of up to 20 participants, giving organisers several possible configurations.
Bronte Sisters is a compact, flexible event room with capacity for up to 40 theatre-style or 32 cabaret-style. Its 48 m² footprint makes it suitable for smaller corporate gatherings, presentations, training sessions and workshops. It can also function as a boardroom for up to 18 delegates.
Professor Brian Boffey is a smaller professional meeting room with capacity for up to 40 theatre-style. The space can also be configured in cabaret or boardroom layouts, making it suitable for presentations, training, workshops and smaller corporate gatherings. Its design combines contemporary furnishings with the hotel's distinctive visual style.
Dame Judi Dench is a dedicated small meeting room intended primarily for boardroom-style gatherings. Its 36 m² footprint and 14-person capacity make it appropriate for executive meetings, interviews, planning sessions and focused team discussions where a private environment is more appropriate than a larger conference room.
Barbara Hepworth is one of the hotel's two smallest named meeting rooms. It provides a compact environment for up to 12 people and is designed primarily around boardroom-style meetings. The space is suitable where privacy and focused discussion are more important than presentation or theatre-style capacity.
Helen Fielding is the second 24 m² compact meeting room at The Met. It has the same published capacity and dimensions as Barbara Hepworth, making the two spaces the hotel's closest equivalent meeting-room pair. The room is suited to small board meetings, interviews and focused discussions.
