The Most Romantic Hotels to Book in Manchester, England
Mood lighting, roll-top tubs and chilled bottles of champagne are on the menu in these Cupid-approved places to stay.
Think Manchester and most people’s minds turn to sport, music and gritty industrial heritage. But, lovebirds, it’s just as well suited to romantic breaks, with a whole host of hotels that know how to roll out the red carpet for cooing couples. From rose petals and roll-top baths to secret gardens and sumptuous surroundings, somewhere in the city there’s an amorous hotel with your name on it. You just have to find the perfect match…
1. Didsbury House Hotel
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
2. Stock Exchange Hotel
Boutique Hotel
Manchester’s former Stock Exchange is now one of its ritziest hotels, following a sensitive conversion that’s retained the building’s Edwardian grandeur and added contemporary perks like a Tom Kerridge restaurant in the old trading hall. Share small plates of refined British comfort food and enjoy people-watching in the bar, then retire to one of 40 bedrooms, all glamorous, cosseting affairs, with luxurious fabrics and finishes, thick fluffy robes and fragrant Dr Harris potions, stocked in the swish marble bathrooms.
4. Dakota Manchester
Hotel
If it’s sexy sophistication you’re after, the Dakota delivers in spades, with its sultry lighting and sharp design. Even standard rooms feel like luxurious, indulgent places to hide away. But if money’s no object, the Grand Deluxe Suite is the one to go for. This eighth-floor penthouse comes complete with acres of space, a wraparound balcony and a large sunken bath for two, plus a host to whip up your favourite cocktails on arrival and generally cater to your every whim.
5. Eleven Didsbury Park
Boutique Hotel
6. The Cow Hollow Hotel
Hotel
Another former industrial building repurposed for the 21st century, this lovely little indie hotel has all the ingredients for a romantic break, from its intimate scale (just 16 rooms) and great location (amid the galleries, bars and boutiques of the Northern Quarter) to the thoughtful design in the rooms. Rooms may be on the small side, but they’re filled with little spoil-yourself luxuries, including Hypnos beds, goose-down duvets and bronze rainfall showers.
7. Hotel Gotham
Hotel
8. Kimpton Clocktower Hotel
Boutique Hotel
Behind the terracotta-tiled facade, this hotel is a riot of original Victorian features, all columns, arches and listed ceramics, with a beautiful glass dome above the lobby and a handsome bar-restaurant/conservatory area that’s buzzing all day long. The high-ceilinged bedrooms combine retro elements (vintage-trunk-style ottomans, wood-panelled walls), industrial influences (brass lamps and white-tiled bathrooms) and jewel-bright flashes of colour. For that final romantic flourish, order in a chilled bottle of champagne and a scattering of rose petals.
