Best of British: Quebecs

Quebecs Leeds
Quebecs Hotel - 9 Quebec Street, Leeds.

Last Thursday I packed my bags and set off for Leeds to meet up with Laetitia, Kit and Natacha from Mango PR. At Waverly I boarded a Cross Country train with my heaving bags and settled down to watch the beautiful countryside fly by. Four cups of tea (with real milk, no UHT), a few Duchy biscuits later and a couple of episodes of The Kennedy's I arrived in Leeds station.

Please forgive me as I skip my first day and night, I'll come back to them next week when I've finished editing my hoard of pictures... After a glorious nights sleep at 42 The Calls and a tour of Leeds from the lovely ladies at Marketing Leeds I headed off to Quebecs to meet Adam. I arrived at The Peppermint Suite and I could hardly believe my eyes when I stepped inside. Instead of a classic hotel suite it was split into two levels. The room must have been at least 14 feet high and easily housed a mezzanine accessed by a spiral staircase.

After luxuriating in the gigantic bath, we headed downstairs for a few drinks in The Oak Room which was quite spectacular. Entirely paneled with intricate panels of carved oak, with lions and cherubs peeking out from every cornor. Unfortunately all the sunshine was too much for this plaid Scot and I had to retire early with a nasty headache but the next morning after the most relaxing sleep, breakfast in bed and a luxurious soak in the gigantic bath I was ready for another day in the sun.

I was very sad, indeed when it came to repack our cases and check out but we snuck in a few pictures before we left. I wore a silk TBA blouse and linen skirt with matching bow, which was perfect for exploring Leeds in the sunshine.


What did you get upto over the sunny weekend?
