This five-star property, set in one of the city’s grandest buildings, the Free Trade Hall, often hosts celebrity visitors to the city (Simon Cowell and Sven-Goran Eriksson among them) making it one of the best spa hotels in Manchester. Guests will enjoy the spa, featuring a good range of ESPA treatments, a relaxation room in one of the building’s former vaults, a 12-metre swimming pool, sauna, steam room, experience shower and whirlpool tub. Hotel guests receive 10 per cent off treatments Monday to Thursday. For some great views of Manchester’s skyline, including the Town Hall and Central Library, opt for a city view room.
