...The boom in business in Leeds has led to a massive investment in local Hotels, For a weekend clubbing in Leeds don't be dissuaded from calling some of the larger hotels for a weekend rate, most of their business revolves around business visitors during the week, so can often give reduced rates or deals at the weekend.
Try The following - Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, The Queens Hotel, Hotel Metropole, Leeds Marriot.
For an extra special weekend away, if cash isn't an issue, try Malmaison, or 42 The Calls, both will give extremely high standards of service, you won't be dissapointed (The restaurant attached to No42 is called brasserie 44, and is recommended!
If a Country Hotel is more your thing, you will not get better than Oulton Hall, around 5 miles out of Leeds, with it's own Golf course....

...The Queens HotelLeeds is ideally located for anyone visiting the city centre ... no more than 10 minutes off the M62 in the heart of the city centre, situated outside and to the front of Leeds mainline railway station. There are ample car parks nearby, with only a short distance to walk with your luggage. Alternatviely, you can request that the conceirge, of this full service 4-star hotel, provide a valet service (at a charge of £5-£10).
The hotel is simply the most famous landmark hotel in Leeds, standing proudly in the city's centre since it ws built in the 1930's. It is a traditional hotel in so much as it is very spacious inside, but has recently undergone a major refurbsihment, bringing a very fresh and modern feel to the grand old lady.
I don't really like to give an indication of what you would be expected to pay per room...

The return of Ash was always going to be sticky ground as far as I was concerned. I’d liked Nu-Clear Sounds and 1977 but Free All Angels didn’t really do anything for me. It lacked any real sense of purpose with far too many mellow tracks. It’s not that... more
