The Britannia Hotel Manchester can be found right in the heart of Manchester’s city centre. It stands on Portland Street and features dominating architecture, making it one of Manchester’s most instantly recognisable landmark hotels, and at 363 rooms, it is also one of the largest hotels in the city.

The three-star Britannia Hotel Manchester was originally used as a textile warehouse and was built in 1858. Manchester owes much of its renown to the textile industry; the somewhat higher than average rainfall and humid climate of the north-west made the region perfect for processing cotton and Manchester rose to the fore during the Industrial Revolution as textile mills sprung up at a rapid rate. Although the city’s textile industry is now sadly depleted, there are still many reminders of Manchester’s industrial might, of which the austere grade II listed building occupied by the Britannia Hotel is just one.

Being in such a central location makes the Manchester’s Britannia Hotel so convenient for exploring everything this vibrant and exciting city has to offer. Bridgewater Hall, the Opera House, the Palace Theatre and the MEN Arena are all within easy reach, while Manchester Central Convention Centre can be reached on foot within 10 minutes. The hotel stands right amid some of Manchester’s renowned shopping streets; the Trafford Centre and Arndale Centre are easy to get to. Manchester’s nightlife is also close at hand.

The three-star Britannia Hotel Manchester also offers its own bars and restaurant; Wave Bar and Crompton’s Bar are the first of the property’s areas to note. While in the shape of Jenny’s Carvery, and the Overstuffed Pizzeria, the hotel serves a diverse menu of food. For those who would like to explore Manchester’s own restaurants meanwhile, you needn’t look far; Chinatown and the Village are only a short walk away, and Manchester caters for all tastes with its eclectic and extensive selection of restaurants. The Britannia Hotel Manchester also offers useful conferencing facilities, with nine conference rooms equipped to cater for anything from 6 to 200 delegates.
