A Long-Standing Partnership Built on Quality & Service | The Queens Hotel Case Study

The Queens Hotel has been a landmark at the centre of Leeds since 1937. Known for its distinctive Art Deco character and prominent City Square location, the hotel combines its rich heritage with the demands of a modern hospitality venue. Its extensive meetings and events facilities range from smaller meeting rooms to the impressive Queens Ballroom, providing flexible spaces for conferences, corporate events, dinners and large-scale celebrations.

For a hotel where spaces need to adapt to different occasions and room configurations, seating has to deliver more than appearance alone. Burgess supplied 525 Siena-Allday 62/1 chairs, upholstered in Panaz Alba Slate fabric and finished with a Bronze Vanda frame, creating a versatile seating solution suited to the practical demands of the hotel’s busy events operation while complementing its distinctive interiors.

The project also continues a long-standing relationship between The Queens Hotel and Burgess. Rather than simply selecting from a catalogue, the hotel was able to explore different options and see a sample chair in situ before placing the final order, giving the team confidence in both the appearance and suitability of the chosen specification.

We asked the team at The Queens Hotel to tell us why they continue to choose Burgess, what stood out during this latest project and how they found the experience of working together. Their responses below are taken directly from the client.

Fantastic, always there to answer questions and queries we have in a timely manner.
