Branded as an effortlessly stylish retreat that seamlessly combines contemporary design with timeless luxury. Set in a heritage-listed Victorian textile warehouse, ABode pays tribute both to Manchester’s 19th-century industrial history and to its continuing influence as one of England’s cultural centres.
The hotel features 61 thoughtfully designed rooms, categories of which are unique to the ABode and exude charm and playfulness into a four-star stay. Rooms go from ‘Comfortable’ and ‘Desirable’ to ‘enviable’ and ‘Fabulous’, while the former are nice, the latter offer up something truly boutique.

Walking into the room, you can expect to be greeted by a luxury kind bed, a separate lounge area, mezzanine, spiral staircase and even more surprises.
