THE QUEENS HOTEL Leeds, UK

IN BRIEF

Elektra Lighting Illuminates Leeds’ Queens Hotel with LEDFlex

The Queens Hotel in Leeds is an impressively grand building, dating back to 1937. With an awe-inspiring Art Deco-style elegance, the Grade II listed building is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Owners, QHotels Group invested £16m into a major renovation of the hotel, with the new-look Queens Hotel being revealed in summer 2021. As part of the refurbishment to the hotel’s reception and Grand Pacific Lounge, alongside a redesign of the exterior façade lighting, Elektra Lighting was commissioned to create the lighting scheme. Working in collaboration with the lighting designers, LEDFlex designed a series of bespoke linear lighting solutions. These have been integrated into the public areas of the hotel, which include the Reception, Lobby, Café and the Grand Pacific bar and restaurant. While the 4mm wide Nano Flex 264 was used in narrow joineries and shelving, Eco Flex 180 was used for subtle cove lighting. LEDFlex’s Flexi Grazer Narrow 20 was further used for interior wall grazing to accentuate feature walls. Elektra Lighting opted for warm colour temperatures, which aligns with their key design principles of making hospitality welcoming and relaxing.
