Leeds
with your dog.

Leeds offers a city stay with two contrasting outdoor days: a central canal stroll and a separate trip to Roundhay Park. Both hotel choices have specific dog restrictions, so make the meal plan part of choosing your room. A short waterside outing is enough on arrival; save the larger park for a day when you have time for the journey and an unhurried walk.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK

Dog-friendly places to stay in Leeds

Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.

Hyatt Place at Sovereign Square charges £30 per stay for one dog under 23kg. Malmaison permits up to two small or medium dogs, charging £25 nightly for one or £40 for two. Neither promises access to its normal dining room: ask Malmaison about an alternative space and agree a practical plan before booking Hyatt.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER

Things to do around Leeds

01

Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath

Choose a short central waterside section for your first outing. Keep the turnaround flexible around busy locks and bridges rather than planning a long linear route after travelling.

Keep your dog close, share the towpath considerately and use a lead where needed near water, locks and other users.

02

Roundhay Park

Make a separate trip to the open parkland and choose a manageable route. Do not treat every garden or attraction within the wider park as having the same dog access.

Specialist Gardens require leads; Tropical World and Canal Gardens exclude pet dogs. Follow current signs elsewhere.

AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS

A short break that leaves room to pause

Day one · canals and city

Check in and confirm your dog-friendly eating arrangements, then take a short canal outing. Keep the evening simple, particularly at Malmaison where the dog cannot wait alone in the room.

Day two · Roundhay at your pace

Travel to Roundhay Park and select a walk through permitted areas. Avoid dog-free gardens and attractions, use leads where required and return before your dog is tired.

A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Good to know before you go

Check size and number first

Hyatt’s one-dog/23kg rule differs from Malmaison’s two small-or-medium-dog policy.

Your Leeds questions

Its published policy allows one dog per room.

Can my dog enter Tropical World?
