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."

Insight Guides "Occupying an old warehouse, this boutique hotel is decidedly luxurious."
Fodor's "The striking contemporary design of this trendy hotel, behind an Edwardian facade, includes good-size, individually designed rooms."
DK Eyewitness "Stylish hotel housed in a converted, 19th-century building, located in the centre of town. Close to the Piccadilly train station, several shops and other downtown attractions."
Time Out "A favourite with visiting bands and celebs, the Mal is a first choice for those who like to think of themselves as possessors of style." Full review
Michelin Guide "Old cotton warehouse and dolls hospital joined by a striking granite extension. Stylish bedrooms: some in dark, masculine shades; others in more subtle pastel hues."
The Telegraph7.0
"Almost immediately upon stepping off the train at Manchester Piccadilly station one comes to face to face with Malmaison, housed in a suitably gothic-looking 19th-century warehouse." Full review
Lonely Planet "Malmaison Manchester follows the chain's quirky design style and passion for cool, although rarely at the expense of comfort: the rooms are terrific." Full review
Independent "There are cheeky quotes on everything from light-boxes to toiletries, and its buzzy bar and restaurant are popular with locals as well as guests...rooms have more character, due to their quirky shapes"
Michelin Guide "This is easily the city's most stylish lodging, with handsome modern rooms in black, white and crimson. Bathrooms are high-tech, as are the bedrooms with enormous plush beds and all manner of gadgetry" Full review
