The Napoleon casino and restaurant located in Leeds, UK, is set to undergo renovation, with the project expected to be completed by July. The establishment will remain operational during the renovation process. Architect Chapman Taylor, known for their work on the renovation of Napoleon casinos in Manchester and Bradford, will lead the restoration of the Leeds casino.
The casino's owner envisions the renovated establishment to have a "glamorous and modern" atmosphere, elegantly contrasting with the urban environment. CEO Andy Moran mentioned that Napoleon first appeared in Leeds in 1986, and the decision to update the interior design has been made at this time.
The casino renovation in Leeds is part of a broader trend of modernization in land-based casinos in the UK. In January, Rank Group communications director David Williams urged the government to support the swift renovation of gambling establishments before the rising cost of living and frozen tax rates take a toll on the sector. Experts estimate that such measures would cost the industry £5 million annually.
