Leeds Pet-Friendly Hotels for Families
12 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Leeds . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Leeds is an easy city to visit with a dog and children: the centre is compact, the canal towpath runs along the waterfront and Roundhay Park, one of the largest city parks in Europe, is a short drive away. Many central hotels welcome pets alongside family suites. The Queens Hotel on City Square has a private entrance to the railway station and a spa. ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena adds a playground near the First Direct Arena. For more space, 10 Park Square East offers serviced apartments with family suites, and Roomzzz Leeds City has studios and suites with fully equipped kitchens.
Leeds, the largest city in West Yorkshire, is known for its Victorian arcades, the covered Kirkgate Market and a waterfront along the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Families with children head to the Royal Armouries at Leeds Dock, while dog owners favour Roundhay Park to the north and Woodhouse Moor near the universities. The Yorkshire Dales, with long walking trails, are within easy reach by car or train.

🐕Why a Pet-Friendly Hotel Works in Leeds
A family trip with a dog works best when the hotel removes the small worries: a lift close to the entrance, space for a dog bed, and green areas for a walk before breakfast. In Leeds, most pet-friendly hotels sit within a few minutes of the station and the River Aire, so arriving by train and walking the dog along the waterfront are both simple. Apartments also let you eat in without leaving the dog alone.
Near the station, The Queens Hotel is the most practical choice. Opened in 1937 on City Square, it has a private entrance to Leeds station, family suites, a spa and wellness centre, and it welcomes pets. Arriving by train with a dog, a pushchair and luggage becomes far easier when the hotel is directly connected. Novotel Leeds Centre, a central four-star, also accepts pets and offers family suites, spacious air-conditioned rooms, a fitness centre and spa facilities. I would book one of these two for a short city break where most outings are on foot.
Apartments give a family with a dog the most room. 10 Park Square East, Luxury Serviced Apartments, rated 9.3, offers family suites in the city centre with private check-in and check-out and full-day security, and it accepts pets. Roomzzz Leeds City has individually designed studios and suites with fully equipped kitchens, a short walk from the main attractions. Hyatt House Aparthotel Leeds, also rated 9.3, offers family rooms with city views and a fitness centre. For stays of several nights, I would choose an apartment so that meals can be cooked while the dog rests nearby.
For younger children, ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena is the most playful option. The three-star sits near the First Direct Arena and offers air-conditioned rooms, family suites, a playground and a pet-friendly policy. Hyatt Place Leeds welcomes pets too, with a family-friendly restaurant serving international dishes, a fitness centre and a terrace. Holiday Inn Express Leeds City Centre by IHG, near the universities and the business district, combines family suites with a pet-friendly policy. These suit families who want a straightforward base with a few extras for children and space for a dog.
For something different, Malmaison Hotel Leeds occupies a former bus and tram company office, keeping its unusual architecture, a five-minute walk from the centre. Holiday Inn Express Leeds City Centre - Armouries by IHG includes breakfast with every stay, handy for an early start to the Royal Armouries. Park Plaza Leeds and Leeds Marriott Hotel are both close to the station. Before booking, I would check each hotel's pet policy in detail, including the number and size of dogs accepted, any extra cleaning charge and which public areas pets can use.
Parent's take
For a family trip to Leeds with a dog, I would book The Queens Hotel: the private entrance to the station makes arrival easy, family suites keep everyone together and the spa gives parents a break. For a longer stay, 10 Park Square East is my alternative, with serviced family suites, private check-in and a pet-friendly policy, rated 9.3 by guests.
