Millennium Square Hotels
Leeds' flagship project to mark the year 2000, Millennium Square has become a focal point for events in the city centre. It is bordered by Leeds Civic Hall, Leeds City Museum, Leeds Academy and Leeds College of Art. It has also played host to performances by Embrace, Kaiser Chiefs and Snow Patrol, as well as civic ceremonies, fairs, markets and street entertainment. Residents of Leeds often gather in Millennium Square to watch major sporting events on its BBC 'Big Screen'.
One of the powerhouses of the industrial revolution, Leeds became celebrated for the production and trade of wool in the 19th century, before falling on hard times in the laste-20th century, then re-emerging in recent years as a centre for commerce and higher education. Located on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, it has three Universities, great shops and (unsurprisingly, given all the students around!) a lively nightlife.
