The Spotlight on Velvet Hotel

Chic Boutique Vibes in the Heart of Manchester

Modern and effortlessly stylish, the Velvet Hotel sits right on Manchester's vibrant Canal Street, just a short 5-minute walk from Piccadilly Rail Station. With its contemporary décor, luxurious furnishings, and fashionable atmosphere, this boutique haven offers a plush base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action while enjoying a touch of indulgence.

Why Concert-goers love it

Velvet Hotel is a dream for music fans thanks to its central location—you’re within easy walking distance of major venues and surrounded by public transport options for late-night returns. The hotel’s live DJ sets on weekends means the music doesn’t have to stop after the encore, while the stylish but low-key ambiance in the rooms gives you a cozy retreat for winding down. Flexible check-in from 3:00 PM and a chill check-out by 11:00 AM also work well with late-night show schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting to hit the town before and after the show
  • Solo travelers chasing their dream concert experience
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans needing a quieter, stylish space to recover post-gig
  • Budget-conscious fans who still want a luxury feel

Food and Drink Options

The Velvet Brasserie offers classic British cuisine with an extensive drink selection, while the in-room continental breakfast (delivered from 6:00 AM) is a great perk for late risers. There’s also a fully-stocked mini-bar in each room, and you’ll find plenty of walkable dining options in the nearby Northern Quarter. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site restaurant and bar stay open late enough for most post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

If you’re not quite ready to call it a night, the Velvet Lounge Bar features live DJs on weekends and a stylish drink menu. The surrounding Canal Street area is packed with buzzing bars, cozy pubs, and lounges, all within walking distance—perfect for pre- or post-concert drinks.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautifully designed rooms, super comfy beds, and the hotel’s unbeatable location. Many love the vibrant yet peaceful vibe, noting that the hotel manages to be right in the middle of the action without being noisy. The friendly staff and luxurious touches like steam-free mirrors and premium toiletries also get frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the hotel’s lively location can mean a bit of street noise on weekends—so consider requesting a quieter room if you're a light sleeper. Also, while the breakfast is convenient, a few guests wished for a more substantial morning option.

The Bottom Line

With its stylish rooms, unbeatable location near Manchester’s top music venues, and buzzing nightlife on your doorstep, Velvet Hotel is an excellent pick for concert-goers who want to stay in the heart of the action without sacrificing comfort.

Excellent and comfortable didn’t want...

Liked: We got upgraded which was a lovely touch. The room was very spacious with everything we need. I enjoyed the Prosecco on arrival. Great facilities and location
Disliked: I was worried about the £100 charge on the card thinking it would take time to revive a refund. However the payment was promptly amended and therefore no concerns with this

OK, but this stay was...

Liked: The location is very central
Disliked: I have stayed at the hotel several times before, when I was told I was getting an upgrade I thought great! However the room was disappointing and drab and was nowhere near as nice as the other rooms I know they have. On top of that the room was exceptionally hot, it was over 30C when I got in the room and took about an hour with the aircon on to get it down to an acceptable level (22C). When I mentioned this to the staff they looked at me blankly!

More or less as great...

Liked: The room was extremely comfortable
Disliked: One slight complaint is the lack of an ironing board in the room and because I was running late I couldn’t call down to get anything done
