"First opened in 1903, the historic Midland’s claims to fame include being where Rolls met Royce and where Becks wooed Posh." Full review

Lonely Planet "Its 312 rooms are used by business-folk and tourists looking for comfort and a little pizzazz." Full review
Michelin Guide "Behind its spectacular red-brick exterior you’ll find a hotel that’s as dignified as they come...public spaces are imposing, while the 312 rooms and suites are softer, though no less finely wrought" Full review

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 city centre"
Independent "This comfortable cocoon of style in Manchester’s city centre is the place to stay if you need to unwind"
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."
