The hotel is situated on the main A660 road between Leeds and Otley. The mock Tudor style suggests it was probably built as part of the adjacent Golden Acre Park development when it started as a profit-making venture in the 1930s; it would not be out of place in the "Metroland" of the Home Counties. It was at one time called the Ramada Jarvis Image, and before that the Parkway Hotel (according to a CAMRA guide to Leeds pubs published in 1993).
