Manchester Hotels and Discovering the City


Manchester Hotels: An adventure in the North West
One of the best things about the North West is the people, the other is the architecture...oh but we can’t forget the history, or the music! It is certainly true that the diverse people and attractions crammed into Manchester’s boundaries make it a very special place indeed. A stay in any one of the great Manchester hotels available throughout the year is a wonderful opportunity to get to know the city. Manchester is famous for its humour and its friendly no-nonsense inhabitants, a warm welcome is guaranteed in most pubs, cafĂ©’s and clubs, with plenty of open people who are often ready for a chat.  No matter what you are interested in you will find something to fascinate in Manchester and if you go with the flow you can often find that a simple city break can turn into an adventure in culture!

Manchester Hotels: On the Doorstep of Culture
To say that Manchester is cultured is surely an understatement. This is a city brimming over with amazing architecture, galleries, museums, theatres and arts centres. An innovator in arts, Manchester hotels will put you right at the epicentre of a creative hubbub which is hard to ignore. It seems that whichever street you turn down, there is a little surprise waiting for you in the shape of murals, quirky bookshops, on-trend fashion shops and pubs and cafes dedicated to the arts. The city centre is not the only place to find entertainment, if you’re in the mood for some history then head for Oxford Road; a lively part of Manchester which encompasses some of the university campus, this area has some great small cafes and bookshops in addition to being the home of the Manchester Museum which is packed with fascinating and ancient artefacts. The innovative Contact Theatre is a short stroll from the museum and in usually offers a fabulous choice of home-grown theatre, dance and spoken-word performances. Oxford Road is home to some of the most elegant of Manchester hotels and the grand architecture here is a testament to Manchester’s fast economic growth during the industrial revolution.

Close to History in Manchester Hotels
The history of Manchester is a long and fascinating one; most people are familiar with the fact that this city grew rich and famous on the spoils of the cotton and shipping industries. As one might expect there are a myriad exhibitions at any one time which celebrate the city’s past and present in creative and surprising ways. Good quality Manchester hotels are quite numerous and well spread throughout the city; you will find that you’re never far from great venues like Urbis, which is Manchester’s Centre for Urban Culture and contains a vast and changing selection of exhibits and shows based on the city and its people. If you are interested in the history of the city then The People’s History Museum is a must. This museum houses excellent exhibits on the working people of Manchester and how they lived and worked. There is a large bookshop on site and a special interest in the Suffragette movement is a fascinating part of the museum. Manchester hotels are as diverse as the city itself and like the city they often encompass the best in modern and classic architecture. As you wander around Manchester’s streets, notice the beautiful and ancient churches, the well kept green spaces and the grand buildings you will be sure to take some very special memories away with you; this is a city to which one visit is almost never enough!
