Quebecs Hotel in Leeds offers three rooms for meetings, private dinners and receptions, for groups of 8 to 40 guests. The hotel stands on Quebec Street in the center of Leeds, West Yorkshire, in a Grade II listed building with 44 bedrooms. It suits board meetings, small training days and private dining rather than large conferences.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself as a venue for corporate events. Three rooms can be hired for meetings, private dining and events: the Oak Room, the Conservatory and the Sir Roger Moore Suite. Wireless internet is available throughout the hotel. Rooms are hired by the day, and day delegate packages are offered for the Oak Room and the Sir Roger Moore Suite. Each package covers the room between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., conference pads, pencils, mineral water and tea or coffee. The standard package adds a sandwich lunch with fruit platters. The deluxe package adds a flipchart, a conference phone, pastries on arrival and a two-course working buffet lunch. Extra equipment can be added on request.

History and setting
The building dates from 1891, when it opened as the Leeds and County Liberal Club, designed by local architects Chorley and Connon. Its terracotta brickwork is among the most distinctive in the city, and it received a Leeds Civic Trust blue plaque in 2004. Original features remain: an entrance with wrought iron gates and Corinthian columns, a grand oak staircase with carved lion finials, and The Gallery, lit by five stained glass windows showing the arms of five Yorkshire towns. The circular Oak Room, paneled in handcrafted oak under an ornate ceiling, was the club's committee room and private dining room.
Getting there
The hotel is at 9 Quebec Street, Leeds LS1 2HA, in the city center.
