Centrally located Forty-Seven is a new kid on the Manchester hotel scene. But the company behind it, Kro Hospitality, knows what it’s doing, as it also owns longstanding boutique favourite, Velvet Hotel.

It’s clear that you’re somewhere special as soon as you walk into this luxurious hotel’s Edwardian baroque building, where original brass, marble and stained-glass features bring the wow factor.

Muj and Amelia Rana have turned a former textile warehouse in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a cool boutique bolt hole. Interiors combine exposed brick walls and wooden beams with gilt mirrors, oil paintings and plenty of greenery, including a fake palm tree in the bar.

A highlight of a stay in this central boutique hotel will be lounging in the warm water of its seventh-floor infinity spa pool, gazing at the clock tower of Manchester’s neo-gothic town hall (currently being refurbished).

On the corner of lively Canal Street and Chorlton Street, this former early 20th-century cotton warehouse has been given a fresh lease of life as a sleek hotel.

From its striking art deco building and glitzy interiors to staff dressed in character, Hotel Gotham is both proudly opulent and theatrical.

Book a stay in this charming boutique hotel to relax in the leafy south Manchester suburb of Didsbury.

The size of Native Manchester doesn’t stop its 162 design-led apartments from feeling like chic hideaways, with turquoise and gold kitchenettes, Conran furniture and lashings of exposed brick.

Perfectly located if you’re in Manchester to make the most of its hospitality, this pub with 15 rooms is in the heart of the city centre’s bohemian Northern Quarter, with top-notch bars, restaurants and shopping options on the doorstep.

One of Manchester’s original boutique hotels, Velvet is on the city centre’s vibrant Canal Street and some rooms have balconies overlooking the action.
