The hotel is situated along the River Aire, adjacent to The Calls Landing. In between these two buildings, a silver ball fountain was installed to commemorate major regeneration carried out by Leeds Corporation between 1985 and 1995. This work was awarded a plaque for the Leeds Award for Architecture 1992, which is fixed to the exterior of 42 The Calls Hotel.
