Hotels in Manchester
Manchester is the north of England’s liveliest city, famous for football, music, industrial heritage and a thriving food scene. It is home to Manchester United and Manchester City, the Science and Industry Museum, the John Rylands Library and some of the UK’s best shopping outside London.
The compact city centre is walkable and served by the free city bus and Metrolink trams. Deansgate and Spinningfields suit shoppers and business travellers, the Northern Quarter is best for independent cafés and nightlife, and Salford Quays, beside MediaCityUK, is ideal for match days at Old Trafford.
