On a romantic break in Manchester, you can spend your days checking out some of the city’s exciting cultural venues and exploring its vibrant central neighbourhoods, dipping in and out of shops, bars and cafés as you stroll. In the evening, watch an up-and-coming band in an intimate venue, enjoy a show in one of the city’s theatres or book into one of its innovative restaurants to share seasonal small plates, pizza or Indian street food.
Manchester’s hotels have everything you need for a romantic break too, whether you’d like to wow your partner with a boutique hideaway with an infinity spa pool, over dinner in the hotel restaurant where David Beckham wooed Victoria, or while sipping cocktails in a chic candlelit bar. And the hotels come in all shapes and sizes, from grand historic buildings and slick newbuilds to cool warehouses that ooze Manchester glamour. Here’s our pick of the most romantic places to stay in Manchester.
