Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up locally inspired dishes, and an à la carte breakfast is available—perfect for sleeping in after a late night. Room service is at your fingertips, with options for winding down or refueling. There are also plenty of walkable spots nearby for a pre-show bite or post-concert snack.

Nightlife Options

Enjoy evening entertainment right at the hotel, or head out to nearby bars and lounges in the Distillery District. While The Manchester doesn’t have its own live music stage, the surrounding area is full of energy and options for night owls.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s stylish decor, friendly staff, and clean, modern rooms. The convenient location gets high marks, especially for those attending events at Rupp Arena. Travelers also love the rooftop terrace for sunset views and post-concert hangs.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is available but not included in the room rate, so budget accordingly. While the hotel is in a lively area, light sleepers may want to request a room away from the street. And although breakfast is tasty, it’s not complimentary.
