Where to stay in Leeds

Wade Lane and Clay Pit Lane: put the arena first

For an arena-side stay, compare ibis Styles and Premier Inn Leeds Arena first. ibis publishes a four-minute walk; Premier Inn describes its property as opposite the arena.

Check the hotel entrance in your confirmation, particularly if friends arrive separately.

City Square: make the railway station your landmark

The Queens connects to Leeds station, and the arena’s hotel directory publishes a twelve-minute venue walk.

Compare City Square for a rail arrival with bags and departure next morning. Check how the station connection works at your arrival time and for your access needs.

Boar Lane and Lower Briggate: split the evening and morning

Leeds Marriott is on Trevelyan Square off Boar Lane; Hotel Indigo is at Lower Briggate. The arena gives Marriott an approximately fifteen-minute walk.

Compare that with your group’s walking stamina, and leave time between any meal and the arena entrance.

Wellington Street and Granary Wharf: choose the hotel features

Crowne Plaza on Wellington Street lists a pool and on-site parking. DoubleTree at Granary Wharf lists connecting rooms and an on-site car park.

Compare those facilities, Friday plans and room suitability; for a late arrival, confirm reception arrangements and the separate route back from the arena.

First Direct Bank Arena hotel shortlist

ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena

Measured route: about 5 minutes on foot. Classification: 3-star (hotel source).

The published four-minute arena walk makes ibis Styles an especially clear comparison for people who want a timed route.

Accor gives its address as Wade Lane and lists rooms for people with reduced mobility.

The parking information points to CitiPark Merrion Centre near the property; it is not presented as a private space waiting outside your bedroom.

Breakfast is listed separately, so include the breakfast arrangement in your room comparison.

Wade Lane, Leeds LS2 8NJ · Official address; checked 25 October 2026.

The Queens Hotel

Measured route: about 16 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

The Queens works particularly well as a station landmark because the arena’s own hotel list describes it as connected to Leeds railway station.

The same source gives a twelve-minute walk to the arena. That is a useful published estimate for comparing an arrival-focused stay with an arena-focused one.

If you are turning the darts into a longer break, look at the room and breakfast options before choosing the package.

Leeds Marriott Hotel

Measured route: about 15 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

The Marriott is at 4 Trevelyan Square, Boar Lane, with an arena-directory estimate of around fifteen minutes on foot.

Its official hotel page gives you the individual accommodation categories to compare.

The arena also identifies the hotel’s Italian restaurant and an Executive Lounge for eligible guests.

Do not assume a standard room includes lounge access: read the rate and room description together.

Premier Inn Leeds City Centre (Leeds Arena)

Measured route: about 10 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Premier Inn places this property opposite First Direct Arena, making the address the main reason to put it on a short list.

Its current page lists double, twin, family and accessible rooms, alongside accessible lowered-bathroom options.

Drivers should notice the distinction between location and parking: the hotel has no on-site car park and points guests to Merrion Centre instead.

Check the car-park entrance and the applicable stay conditions before travelling.

Hepworth Point, Clay Pit Lane, Leeds LS2 8BQ · Official address; checked 25 October 2026.

Hotel Indigo Leeds

Measured route: about 17 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Hotel Indigo’s Lower Briggate address brings another part of central Leeds into the comparison.

The current IHG page names Banksia Bar & Restaurant, gives a minimum check-in age of eighteen and directs motorists towards pre-booked Q-Park parking.

Parking is therefore a separate arrangement to settle alongside the room.

A couple choosing a city break can compare the dining options with the shorter arena-side walk offered elsewhere.

Crowne Plaza Leeds

Measured route: about 24 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

Crowne Plaza Leeds lists rooms and suites, an indoor pool and an on-site car park at its Wellington Street property.

Those features make it worth comparing when the stay includes more than the darts itself.

A family interested in the pool should read the published age and supervision rules, then check the hours that apply during the stay.

The hotel’s facilities should not distract from the journey: decide how you will reach the arena and return before paying for the room.

DoubleTree by Hilton Leeds City Centre

Measured route: about 21 minutes on foot. Classification: unconfirmed; use the hotel’s own page.

DoubleTree Leeds City Centre is at Granary Wharf, with connecting rooms listed among its facilities.

Its on-site parking is covered and secured, and the current policy lists in-and-out privileges.

That gives drivers a different set of practical questions from a hotel using a separate public car park.

Check vehicle restrictions and availability directly rather than assuming the room includes a bay.

Getting back after the Leeds darts

Groups and families staying in Leeds

Getting back from the Leeds darts

Before leaving the hotel, save the route to its actual entrance and pick a meeting point outside the arena for anyone who gets separated.

The published walks above are hotel or venue estimates; allow more time when the pavement is busy or someone needs a slower pace.

Rooms for friends and families

For eight adults, start the dated search with four rooms and then agree whether every room needs twin beds.

A four-room result is an inventory request, not a promise that all four rooms have the same cancellation terms.

For a family, enter two adults and the children’s real ages; the example search uses ten and twelve.

FAQs

Which Leeds hotel has a published walk of four minutes to the arena?

Accor’s ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena page gives a four-minute walk.

Premier Inn Leeds Arena says it is opposite the venue but its property page does not attach a walking duration.

Is The Queens connected to Leeds railway station?

Yes. First Direct Arena’s official hotel directory describes that connection and gives a twelve-minute walk from the hotel to the arena.

Does Leeds Arena Premier Inn have its own car park?

No on-site parking is listed. The hotel directs drivers to chargeable Merrion Centre parking, so sort that arrangement separately from the bedroom.

Can I ask for connecting rooms at DoubleTree Leeds City Centre?

Connecting rooms appear on the hotel’s facilities list. Contact the property with your dates and party details before relying on that arrangement for children.
