The Midland Hotel Manchester is a prominent and distinctive hotel in the heart of Manchester city centre. A magnificent city full of history, character and thriving commerce, Manchester is also an international conference destination, a commercial and cultural hub of northern England and a major destination for business and leisure visitors alike. The central Manchester hotel occupies a prime location on Peter Street. The hotel dates from 1903, when it was built by the Midland Railway Company. In the days of the British Empire when Manchester was a key centre of manufacture and trade, the powerful business community needed a hotel that would reflect their grand ambitions and flamboyant style, and so the Midland Hotel was born.
The location of the Midland is ideal: it is right in the centre of all the action because Manchester has literally grown up around it. The Midland Hotel is situated next door to the Manchester Central Convention Complex and Bridgewater Hall. It is also within easy walking distance are the Opera House and Palace Theatre, while the MEN Arena is not far away. The Midland Hotel Manchester is only half a mile from Piccadilly train station and Manchester’s modern tram system runs alongside the hotel, meaning visitors can travel around with ease.
Today the Midland Hotel Manchester is part of the dynamic Qhotels group, 2008 AA Hotel Group of the Year. The hotel now offers 312 stylish en-suite bedrooms including a selection of elegant suites; all rooms and suites benefit from the Midland’s £12 million refurbishment which took place in the not too distant past. The hotel’s public areas were also returned to their former elegant glory as part of the renovations, and all of the hotel’s restaurants and bars offer outstanding cuisine, most notably the award-winning The French Restaurant which has two AA rosettes to its name.
The Midland Hotel Manchester is also one of Manchester’s premier venues for meetings and conferences. This is apt given that the hotel has witnessed some of the greatest meetings of the 20th century, notably that of Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce leading to the creation of Rolls Royce Limited. From small boardroom meetings to grand events and conferences, the Midland can accommodate all in style. Of final note here are the hotel’s leisure facilities which offer opportunity to both relax and keep fit thanks to a gym, a swimming pool and a squash court.
