Having been involved in the design and delivery of this scheme for a number of years, it is especially rewarding to see how closely the final result matches the original vision, a true testament to the quality of design and execution for which DLA is known”. “The opening of Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds is sure to be an exciting addition to Leeds City Centre,” said Peter Dodd, General Manager, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds. “Everything from the hotels’ contemporary layout to their spacious and impressive suites has been intricately designed to ensure guests enjoy the highest quality of comfort and flexibility during their stay.
