The Met Hotel in central Leeds hosts boardroom sessions, conferences, product launches, birthdays and weddings in nine rooms, from a 12-person meeting room to the Met Ballroom, which takes up to 250 delegates. The rooms can be rearranged for each event, and food comes from the hotel's own kitchen, Gott's Bar and Kitchen.

Weddings and receptions
The hotel lists weddings alongside birthdays and product launches among the events its spaces can host. The site gives no wedding packages, guest limits or ceremony rules, so ask the events team what applies to your date.
