The Best Hotels to Book Near Canal Street, Manchester
There’s fun seven nights a week on Canal Street, the colourful stretch of endlessly buzzing bars, clubs and restaurants known as Manchester’s Gay Village. Catch an art exhibition at renowned No 1 Canal Street, dance with drag queens and DJs at Via, belt out show tunes at Oscar’s piano bar, or indulge at the Alice in Wonderland-inspired Richmond Tea Rooms. These handpicked hotels – bookable with Culture Trip – are steps away from the fun and include panoramic penthouses and decadent hideaways.
1. The Cow Hollow Hotel
Hotel
Exposed brick, gold furnishings and wooden shutters make for chic boutique bedrooms in this restored textile mill; bronze bathroom features, Hypnos beds and Jacob Jenson technology add extra flair. The coolness continues downstairs: sink into the comfy sofas at the palm tree-strewn cocktail lounge, where generous on-the-house prosecco and antipasti trays do the rounds. Staff at this trendy Northern Quarter haunt will help you pick the best nearby restaurants (and dishes) for when you spill out, hungry for more.
2. Dakota Manchester
Hotel
Partied out? Try the Night in Style package offering dinner at Dakota Grill – where signature prime cut steaks are cooked over hot coals – followed by in-room champagne, popcorn, pic’n’mix, Sky Movies and next-morning breakfast. Opt for a suite to enjoy a marble-top tub or jacuzzi, walk-in wardrobe, wraparound balcony-views over twinkling Manchester City, and a personal host throughout. Hit the heated terrace for cocktails like apple and vanilla margarita, or the semi-private Champagne Room for sipping and cigars.

5. Jurys Inn Manchester City Centre

You’re welcomed into this accessible Bridgewater Street joint with a neon “nice to see you” sign – and the friendly surprises keep on coming. There’s an all-day Costa Coffee bar, and a breakfast of berry muesli and fruit salad can be delivered to your room. Best of all is the downstairs Oddsocks Bar & Kitchen: floor-to-ceiling glass, plush sofas and colourful scatter cushions accompany you and your crew for a night of regional bottled beers and exciting burgers, like the Mexican chilli-topped patty.
6. Hotel Brooklyn
Budget Hotel, Hotel
This quirky Portland Street stay has gone all-in with the theme – yellow taxi included. The restaurant, Runyon’s, promises Big Apple swagger like the maple-bacon-topped burger, buffalo-sauce-drenched cauliflower wings and bottomless brunch featuring cheesesteak sandwiches, all to be washed down with Brooklyn craft beer or NYC-themed cocktails. Contemporary, small-dog-friendly rooms feature powder-pink furniture, cool wall sketches and vintage accessories, while suites have floor-to-ceiling city-view windows, your own library and a Brooklyn in a Bottle liquor section.

In the Chez Mal Bar, sip signature cocktails on the red leather sofas, including the quirky, gin-based Tea in the Rose Garden, with blackberry and raspberry tea, lemon and tonic. Soak up the hangover with a Malmaison breakfast: choose between buffet-style continental, full English or smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.
