Leeds Hotels for the Corn Exchange

Any hotel in Leeds will be close enough that you can drop in to the famous Corn Exchange for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon on the town.

Visit the Leeds Corn Exchange with West Yorkshire Hotels

You'll easily find the Corn Exchange from your Leeds hotel accommodation. It is conveniently located right in the historic heart of the city on Kirkgate, one of the oldest streets in town. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a world-famous Hull architect, it dominated the area when it was first opened for business and is still an imposing edifice, radiating style and self-confidence. It's nice to know that a building originally designed for the bartering of oats, barley, hops, wheat and other essentials is still happily functioning as a thriving retail centre. The great domed roof is one of its most stunning features.
