What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its location in the heart of the business district and its stylish, well-equipped bedrooms make this design hotel ideal for business travellers.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Leeds Station is five minutes away on foot, and Greek Street's cocktail bars buzz just outside the door.
The rooms
Bedrooms feel tailored and quiet, dressed in muted greys with soft mohair throws and dark wood finishes.
Restaurant
The Grill
Steaks are grilled over hot coals in a dining room finished with herringbone oak floors and tan leather armchairs.
Bar
Salon Privé
Bartenders pour from an extensive champagne list across a marble counter, set against dark wood paneling and low lamplight.
How it began
The brand drew its name from the Douglas DC-3 airliner, promising sleek travel without pretension.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
