42 The Calls Hotel is a Grade II listed[1] 4-star[2] boutique hotel with 41 rooms. The hotel is located on The Calls in Leeds opposite Leeds Parish Church and near to Leeds Corn Exchange. A former corn mill, the 18th century Fletland Mill was bought by hotelier Jonathan Wix in 1991 and renovated at a cost of £19.5 million.[3]
In February 2018 the hotel entered liquidation,[4] and RSM Restructuring Advisory LLP were appointed as liquidators of the company following a court order issued on 17 January 2018, and a petition by HMRC.[4] The hotel was acquired by local investor Simon Pollard in April 2018.[5] The hotel is planned to undergo refurbishment in Autumn 2019, but will remain open for bookings for the foreseeable future.
Awards
[edit]The hotel has been awarded Condé Nast Traveller Best Business Hotel in the UK 2001 and 2002 and Which? Business Hotel of the Year 1999.
Adjacent Features
[edit]The hotel is situated along the River Aire, adjacent to The Calls Landing. In between these two buildings, a silver ball fountain was installed to commemorate major regeneration carried out by Leeds Corporation between 1985 and 1995. This work was awarded a plaque for the Leeds Award for Architecture 1992, which is fixed to the exterior of 42 The Calls Hotel.
