Dakota Leeds welcomes back guests and diners this weekend as hotels and bars reopen

Guests will be welcomed back to the popular Russel Street hotel when lockdown measures are eased on Saturday, with the bar, grill and outdoor terrace on Greek Street also reopening.

Dakota Bar and Grill will reopen with a specially-curated menu of classic Dakota light bites, grills, seafood and desserts.

The Greek Street terrace will also be serving food along with an extensive wine and drinks menu.

Salon Privé, Dakota’s exclusive first floor bar, will also reopen on Saturday from 3pm.

Guests can choose to enjoy drinks, cocktails and small plates on the terrace overlooking Greek Street. From next week, it will open on Fridays from 5pm and Saturdays from 3pm.

Table bookings are again highly recommended for the bars and grill.

The hotel has launched a Summer Staycation package for guests looking to book a stay in Leeds. From July 4 to August 31, guests booking an overnight stay in a classic room can get a second night from £100.
