Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than a 10-minute walk from the Manchester Arena, making this hotel a top pick for gig nights. Guests love the quiet, restful rooms despite being in the middle of the action. The 2pm check-in time gives you plenty of time to arrive and get ready at your own pace, and there are plenty of late-night transport options nearby to get you back post-show. The on-site bar means you don't have to venture far for a nightcap either.

Food and Drink Options

Hungry after the encore? The hotel restaurant serves up lunch and dinner daily, with options to suit most dietary needs. You’ll also find a cosy pub-style bar on-site, perfect for a pre-show pint or post-gig recap. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the central location means late-night eats are just a short walk away. And yes – breakfast is served, even if you’ve had a late one the night before.

Nightlife Options

Being in the Northern Quarter means you’re surrounded by some of Manchester’s best nightlife. From indie bars and craft beer spots to laid-back lounges and live music pubs, you’re spoiled for choice. The hotel’s own bar is a great place to start your night or wind down after the show.

Areas for Improvement
