The Principal Met Hotel (formerly the Hotel Metropole) is a Grade II listed building situated on King Street in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was built in 1898 as the Hotel Metropole and underwent a £6 million renovation in 2005 under new owner the Principal Hayley Group, after which its name was changed to the trendier sounding 'The Met'. It has four stars and it has 120 rooms.
The principal reason that the Hotel Metropole is a listed building is the rare and remarkable Victorian terracotta facade. The cupola on the roof was taken from the demolished 4th White Cloth Hall, built in 1868 on the same site.
