DoubleTree hotel brand makes a Mint

The hotel, located adjacent to Leeds City Station, is one of eight Mint Hotels across the UK and the Netherlands joining the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of hotels as DoubleTree by Hilton or Hilton Garden Inn properties after they were sold for a reported £600m, believed to be one of the largest hotel deals in Europe for four years.

The Leeds hotel was originally built as part of the City Inn portfolio in 2009 but the group was rebranded Mint a year later.

Rob Palleschi, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton, said: “DoubleTree by Hilton is delighted to further strengthen our fast-growing UK collection with this exceptional hotel.

“The city centre property in Leeds will continue to offer guests many of the design and service attributes already enjoyed by current hotel guests, along with the added rewards of our Hilton HHonors guest loyalty programme and the signature, sweet worldwide welcome of our legendary DoubleTree by Hilton chocolate chip cookie welcome.”
