Best Spas in Bramham

"As well as occupying what has to be one of the city's best locations, The Grand also offers tip-top service, a good choice of eating options, a spa and a pool. The colossus of a building was formerly the Edwardian headquarters of the wealthy North Eastern Railway Company and original features such as parquet flooring, hefty dark-wood doors and a sweeping stone staircase have been blended with a colour scheme of deep purple and charcoal greys plus swathes of velvet in chairs and sofas. Bedrooms are generous to a fault; even the entry-level Classics have space for a small party, and bathrooms feature baths as well as showers."

"A majestic Edwardian building, transformed into a luxury hotel at the heart of the city. Elegant hospitality is everywhere, in the rooms, the public areas and the spa. Excellent food is also on offer at Hudson’s and The Rise Restaurant."

"Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa is a stylish getaway that is well insulated and keeps the noise of the bustling city of Leeds out. The hotel creates a homely and elegant atmosphere with lush landscaping, a charming atrium courtyard where you can find fresh-baked goods, and guest rooms with neutral colours and upscale furniture. As its name suggests, this hotel offers one of the best spa and wellness treatments in Leeds with fantastic facilities such as a massive indoor swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and fitness club."

"With easy access to the M62/M1, this stylish 4-star hotel is just 6 miles from Leeds centre and the new First Direct Arena. Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa, part of Thwaites Hotels and the AA hotel group of the year, features a modern spa and leisure centre, boutique-style bedrooms and a creative restaurant. All rooms have free WiFi, tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary fresh milk and mineral water in your fridge, and each has a modern bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower; plus a hairdryer and fluffy bathrobes."

"Last but certainly not least, Thorpe Park Spa Leeds, a colossal Leeds hotel and spa. This Leeds spa isn’t shy when it comes to its facilities, we’re talking seven treatment rooms, relaxation lounge, manicure & pedicure stations, swimming pool, colour therapy sauna, steam room, indoor whirlpool, outdoor terrace and even afternoon tea!. The rooms all provide a reassuringly comfortable and relaxing environment and even come with biscuits and refres­hments!"

"The clue’s in the name: this sturdy Regency country house is an Eden for green fingers. It’s set among 300 acres (121ha) of woodland and glorious landscaped gardens. In spring, you’ll encounter blazes of azaleas and ruby rhododendrons – no wonder honey from Rudding Park’s bees is on the menu at the funky Horto Cafe."

"This three AA rosette restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients (Horto stands for ‘Kitchen Garden’) and offers guests a choice of à la carte and a tasting menu. Also at Rudding Park is The Clock Tower which offers a range of menus including Afternoon Tea and the popular Yorkshire Tapas."

"Sunny Bank Mills was once a key part of the city’s industrial past, but since being restored by the Gaunt family, it’s been turned into a multi-purpose creative space with a 3,000-square-foot art gallery at its heart. It’s one of the best galleries in Leeds to find exhibitions by local artists, as it gives them a platform to show their work, from Mel Davies’ colourful landscapes to Kate Kenney’s oil paintings of Yorkshire. It’s also home to Spinning Mill Studios, where local artists and makers create and display their work."

"In a city with the biggest student population outside of London, it would be absurd for the prevailing university culture not to have some influence on the art scene. Housed within the University of Leeds campus in the Grade II listed Art Deco Parkinson Building, The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery showcases a mix of contemporary art as well as works from the university’s special collections department spanning over 200 years. The gallery expectedly supports and promotes its students’ and its graduates’ work, in addition to displays from local artists and those from further afield."

"You don’t have to be a student to enjoy the art of The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds. Since 1970, it’s been home to the University Art Collection, which features ceramics, photographs and sculpture. That’s not all – you can see an incredible selection of British and European paintings, drawings and prints from 17th century to the present day."

"Opened in 1888, Leeds Art Gallery is a museum that houses an extensive collection of British art from the 19th and 20th centuries. Beautiful sculptures and paintings presented here often reflect the prominent characters and significant events of British history. The modern and spacious gallery also organizes exhibitions, learning program activities, themed displays and other events for all ages."

"Leeds Art Gallery offers you the chance to see work by some of the most important national and international artists all for free. It is home to one of the most signi¬ficant collections of 20th century British art in the country and offers a changing programme of exhibitions and displays throughout the year.

"A survivor of Yorkshire’s ancient fenlands, dating back 15,000 years, Askham Bog is considered one of the most ecologically diverse sites in the UK. The bog itself is made of boulder clay and fen peat, while the land around it is home to roe deer, foxes, newts and frogs. Plants include royal ferns, rare gingerbread sedge and whole rivers of water violets."

"The Georgian-style Mansion House in York is the home of the city's Lord Mayors during their term in office. This is the earliest purpose-built house of this sort still in use – it predates the Mansion House in London by at least 20 years. The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1725, and it was completed seven years later, in 1732."
