    They have thought of everything - from the beautiful scent that hits you the minute you walk into the lobby, to the warm welcome you’re greeted with at check in and most of all the quality and attention to detail on the interior design and materials used. No expense has been spared, a real luxury finish from the artwork on the walls, the crushed velvet bed throws, to the stunning tiling in the bathrooms and high tech mood lighting in the rooms. Great central location in Manchester and the Indian restaurant was very nice on-site too
