"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 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 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 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

Upscale
"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 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."

"Indoors, genteel mod-British interiors, his and hers afternoon teas and a chandelier-lit tavern create a restful stay for those who want to chase pâtisserie and pastel-hued rooms." Full review

"With an infinity spa pool on its seventh floor overlooking Town Hall’s clock tower, this 40-room hotel is a special retreat in Manchester city centre"

"This comfortable cocoon of style in Manchester’s city centre is the place to stay if you need to unwind"
Independent Independent
"A glam 40-room boutique base with a steaming, open-facing rooftop pool...a steam room and relaxation area on the top floor and private movie nights in a mini cinema complete the picture."

The Guardian The Guardian
"Don’t be put off by King Street’s central location; the hotel is on a quiet road and has the feeling of an elegantly curated oasis, with rooms in calming blues, greens and greys"
Independent Independent
"With an infinity spa pool on its seventh floor, overlooking Town Hall’s clock tower, this 40-room hotel is a special retreat in Manchester’s city centre"
Independent Independent
"The interior décor in public areas is a delight, with locally sourced artwork, statement lighting and parquet flooring, while the bedrooms share a calming colour scheme – but each is unique."
Independent Independent
"Make like the North’s models and influencers and hole up at King Street Townhouse, a glam 40-room boutique base with a steaming, open-facing rooftop pool facing the spires of Manchester Town Hall (sadly under scaffolding until 2024)"

Top choice
"Arguably the city centre's finest lodgings is in this beautiful 1872 Italian renaissance-style former bank, now an exquisite boutique hotel with 40 bedrooms ranging from snug to suite." Full review
