A 15-minute train ride or 25-minute car ride from Waterside and you will find yourself in Manchester’s vibrant city centre.

One of Britain’s largest and most diverse urban spaces, built upon a sturdy foundation of innovation and determination, Manchester was formerly recognised as a global centre for the cotton trade, and has continued to expand and grow ever since to become one of the most successful creative business hubs of the UK.

Famous for its music scene and as the birthplace of famous faces, such as Emmeline Pankhurst and British institutions including Marks & Spencer, Manchester is steeped in rich British history. Awash with red brick buildings, interspersed by much taller, 60s-inspired tower blocks, Manchester is a wonderful place to explore and discover at your leisure. The Beetham Tower, which was completed in 2006 is now the largest building in the city and One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in the world – a spectacular skyline to rival that of our capital city.

As you might imagine, there is plenty to see and do in Manchester – from exploring the historical monuments of Albert Square and shopping in the Trafford Centre to perusing the halls of the number of museums and art galleries and trying out the delectable delights of ‘Curry Mile’ – you will never be bored when staying at our finest of Manchester hotels. Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC, as well as Manchester University, the MEN and the Trafford Centre are also based in Manchester, so there really is someone for everyone here.

Fringed by the Cheshire Plain and the Pennines, which are commonly referred to as the backbone of England, Manchester is a great place to stay if you hoping to enjoy a city break with access to the beautiful countryside. There are also plenty of local nature reserves, parks and gardens in Manchester, as well as the picturesque River Irwell running through the middle to wander along, providing some welcome respite from city life.
