Fodor's Expert Review Dakota Hotel Leeds

This sleek boutique hotel from the founder of the Malmaison group puts the emphasis on contemporary minimalist comfort, with soundproofed, media-and-amenity-stuffed rooms in subdued grays and taupes. The in-house brasserie-style grill restaurant is a local favorite, the ground floor bar has a Champagne room, and there's also a private rooftop terrace Residents' Bar for hotel guests.
