As the unofficial 'Capital of the North', Manchester is rated as Britain's best place to do business. Overlooking Piccadilly Gardens, we're just five minutes' walk from its other great attraction, the Arndale Centre - Europe's largest city-centre shopping mall.
During the Victorian era, no one could have imagined that one day, people would take weekend breaks in Manchester. Known as 'Cottonopolis' thanks to its numerous mills, it was a global industrial powerhouse that worked hard around the clock. Today, as the unofficial 'Capital of the North', it's the UK's third most-visited city for leisure, as well as business.
Located right in the city centre, overlooking Piccadilly Gardens, our Manchester hotel has 205 bedrooms, including Deluxe rooms as well as Suites. NCP parking is available nearby at an additional charge.
One of the main reasons people come to Thistle Manchester is our conference facilities. Manchester is consistently rated as Britain's best place to do business, and we make it easy with our 9 meeting rooms, the largest seating 300 theatre style.
But we're also a perfect base for city breaks; Manchester icons including the Arndale Centre, the Lowry and Old Trafford are all within easy reach. And if you simply want to relax, our Otium Health & Leisure Club has all the comforts and facilities you could wish for.
