The Queens Hotel occupies
a prominent site beside Leeds Central
Station looking out onto City Square.
It was built for the Midland and Scottish
Railway Company to a design by W H Hamlyn,
the railway company's architect, and W
Curtis, the designer of the interiors of
London's Dorchester Hotel. The facade
of the Queens that looks out onto City
Square is clad in Portland stone.
The back of the building
though is faced with brick.
It was opened a little
over a year later by the Earl of Harewood.
