Velvet Hotel Manchester is an independent 4* boutique hotel with a bar and restaurant. Situated on Canal Street in the heart of the city’s famous Gay Village, Velvet standard rooms start from around £150 a night. There isn’t much standard about the rooms though, all uniquely decorated and boasting a pretty luxurious feel. Balcony and penthouse rooms are available too, and they’re both pretty stunning. If you’re after a luxurious, boutique stay in Manchester, look no further.
