The Queens Hotel opened in 1937 right next to Leeds railway station, its curved Art Deco front designed to be the first grand thing visitors saw stepping off the train — The Beatles and generations of dignitaries have checked in since. You don't need a room; the lobby lounge does a proper afternoon tea if you fancy feeling briefly important.
