Leeds' newest leisure destination
The Arena Quarter is located in the heart of Leeds city centre and encompasses the external venues of the Merrion Centre.
The area incorporates Merrion Way, Wade Lane, Woodhouse Lane and Merrion Street and is adjacent to the 13,500 capacity first direct arena (which plays host to a variety of high profile concerts, shows, corporate and sporting events).
This £17m project was started in 2012 to capitalise on the opening of the arena, with the northern side of the centre initially being completely transformed into a food and leisure hub. Following the success of this re-development, additional brands were attracted to becoming part of the Arena Quarter at other external facing locations around the Merrion Centre scheme
The complete transformation of the multi-storey CitiPark car park and launch of the 134 bedroom ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena Hotel has ensured that the Arena Quarter has become a staple fixture on the Leeds landscape.
The area offers high quality accommodation within a fast establishing leisure and entertainment destination, which is set for even further dramatic transformation with plans announced for additional development within the area.
