"Last but certainly not least, Thorpe Park Spa Leeds, a colossal Leeds hotel and spa.

The rooms all provide a reassuringly comfortable and relaxing environment and even come with biscuits and refresÂhments!"
"This upmarket modern hotel, close to the M1 and five miles east of central Leeds, stands out for its creative dining and its extensive health and wellbeing facilities. The latter include a large swimming pool, a well-equipped gym and high-quality treatments using ESPA and Natura Bisse products."
"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dollsâ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."

"It didnât take long for word to spread about Rudyâs appetising Neapolitan pizzas. Debuting on Ancoatsâ Cotton Street in 2015 and named after founders Jim Morgan and Kate Wilsonâs little dog, the venueâs fast-and-easy style became a quick hit with locals, whoâd queue for hours to get a pizza cooked inside their wood-burning stove. Shortly after they were featured in the prestigious Where To Eat Pizzas world guide, a second, larger space was unveiled in the centre of town on Peter Street."
"With its original site in up-and-coming Ancoats and a newly opened branch on Peter Street, itâs a go-to place for pizza and cocktails with your pals. Pizza dough is made on site twice a day and cooked for no longer than a minute to produce a springy base. Choose from toppings including classic margherita with buffalo mozzarella, spicy ânduja sausage with tomato and fior di latte, or white pizza with smoked mozzarella, Tuscan sausage and wild broccoli."
"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."
"Gusto is a staple for fans of Italian food in Leeds, with a city centre restaurant alongside their longstanding Cookridge one. Their sleek, classy restaurants add a dash of style to an already refined menu, expect a slew of tasty pizzas, pastas, risottos and salads. They also offer mains like 28-day aged steak and the Gusto Burger, or you can plump for their tasty deli meat and cheese board, which goes particularly well with their extensive wine list."
"10 Greek Street, Leeds LS1 5RU151 Otley Old Road, Cookridge, Leeds LS16 6HNWith venues in the city centre and out in Cookridge, Gusto serves up Italian food, in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Gusto has a filter on their online menu, making it easy to find the perfect dish, with vegain options available."
"In the summer, the delicious smells of Gusto spread out onto Greek Street to create an alfresco dining experience thatâs hard to resist. Their outdoor seating comes with big parasols and cosy heat lamps, so you can dine in the lap of outdoor luxury. The menu is filled with refined Italian classics."
"This much-beloved watering hole is the sister bar to one of Leedsâ oldest pub, Whitelocks. Whilst the former is the place to head for the more classic ales, Turks Head is the more modern choice, with a plethora of interesting craft ales, gins, and cocktails. The beer garden which sits in the alleyway just off Briggate is lively and atmospheric all year round, with plenty of seating, and canopies with heaters for those unpredictable British summer days."
"Unlike most modern day shopping centres, this one is situated in one of the finest Victorian buildings standing in the north of England. Proving itself to be an architectural masterpiece and one of the cultural icons that makes Leeds the city that it is today. If you prefer independent retail enterprises to large chain shops, this is where you belong."
"This is one place where history and pleasure of shopping come together. Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building that was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick in 1864. It is now just one of three Corn Exchanges in the country and works in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade."
"Leeds Corn Exchange is one of the cityâs most recognisable and most impressive Victorian buildings. This Grade I building houses a wide range of independent retailers and tasty eateries with an iconic domed roof."
"Have you even visited Manchester if you havenât shared a photograph of the mosaic sign outside Affleckâs?. The iconic sign reading âand on the sixth day, God created Manchesterâ is surely one of the most popular photos of Manchester city centre on Instagram with many tourists and locals flocking to Short Street to admire the piece of art. Affleckâs, Short Street, Manchester, UK"
"A local institution, Affleckâs is a hub for Manchesterâs alternative crowd, containing an impressive array of stalls selling everything from fetish gear to DIY jewellery. Pop inside to discover an eclectic array of clothing, jewellery, memorabilia and gifts before sneaking upstairs for a luxury ice cream at Gingerâs Comfort Emporium."
"Affleckâs is a perfect spot for a stylish and unusual photo. Itâs also a place, where you can buy a lot of unusual things for a photoshoot or just for yourself. There are some amazing dresses, jewellery and other items that I have never seen anywhere else!"
