The Bar/Lounge at Great John Street Hotel

"For some relaxation, unwind in the cozy Oyster Bar or head up to the rooftop garden with its outdoor hot tub"

"The on-site bar-cum-restaurant has an open fire and deep sofas, with a gallery breakfast room up above"

"Although the hotel doesn't have guest parking or a restaurant (though there is informal dining in the lounge), the chichi bar and rooftop hot tub make up for it"

"All rooms are individually designed and decorated duplexes that come with stone gray walls, jewel-tone velvet accent pieces, lime-washed armoires, glass bubble table lamps, CD-DVD players and a TV in both lounge area and bedroom area"

"A former Victorian schoolhouse situated just a few minutes away from Deansgate, the hotel has a range of elegant features, including individually styled, mainly duplex bedrooms, as well as the decidedly chic Oyster Bar and Mezzanine, the comfy library, and a trendy rooftop bar"

"You needn’t wait for the bell to frolic on the ‘playground’ roof terrace, and lounges are an extension of your room, where you can wander and slouch on the sofas with abandon"
