Fodor's "Opposite the Manchester Art Gallery, the centrally located Arora Hotel occupies one of the city's grand Victorian buildings; its interior design, however, is minimalist modern."
Lonely Planet "Set in a converted 19th-century wool mill, the Arora joins Manchester's growing list of trendy hotels, except this one's got cheaper rates and pop star backing." Full review
Rough Guide "Four-star with more than 100 neat, modern rooms – five of them with themes relating to part-owner Cliff Richard – in a listed building opposite the Manchester Art Gallery."
Time Out "Cliff Richard isn't a name you'd normally associate with cutting-edge design. Yet the holy rock 'n' roller is part-owner of one of the hippest hotels in the city." Full review

"Although impressive from the outside, the Arora Hotel doesn't quite deliver with its interiors, which are smart and modern, but largely lacking in character." Full review
The Guardian "A huge, upper-ground floor space houses the bar, restaurant and lobby...rooms have bare plaster walls, exposed ducting and angular lighting and furniture, with seriously comfortable beds."
