Boutique Hotels Manchester

Demi Sheridan, Editorial Assistant

Looking to explore the city from a stylish hotel with a bit of a difference? We’ve put together a list of some of the best boutique hotels Manchester has to offer.

From your classic spacious room with a big king sized bed and those little luxury toiletries. To rooms you probably would not expect, with band posters hanging from the walls and spiral staircases that bring you into the living space (of your hotel ‘room’, if you can imagine).

Manchester always has something going on and new bars and restaurants popping up and changing so fast, its hard to keep up. But that just adds to the fun.

Check below for our favourite boutique places to stay on your next visit here to Manchester.
